Saru River (沙流川,Saru-gawa) is a river inHokkaido,Japan.

The Saru River rises in theHidaka Mountains and empties into thePacific. It is considered sacred in traditional Ainu beliefs.^[4]

TheNibutani Dam is situated on the Saru River, atNibutani village. The construction of this dam was the subject of famous domestic litigation, producing the first ever Japanese legal decision to recognise theAinu people as an indigenous people. Construction of a second dam, the Biratori Dam is also planned by theHokkaido Development Board.^[5] The 'Cultural Landscape along the Saru River resulting from Ainu Tradition and Modern Settlement' has been designated anImportant Cultural Landscape.^[6]
