TheFuji River (富士川,Fuji-kawa or Fuji-gawa) is ariver inYamanashi andShizuoka Prefectures of central Japan. It is 128 kilometres (80 mi) long and has awatershed of 3,990 square kilometres (1,540 sq mi).^[1] Along with theMogami River inYamagata and theKuma River inKumamoto, it is regarded as having one of the three most rapid flows of Japan.

The river arises fromMount Nokogiri in theAkaishi Mountains in northwest Yamanashi as the Kamanashi River (釜無川,Kamanashi-gawa), and meets theFuefuki River at the town ofIchikawamisato where it changes its name to the Fuji River. It then flows around the west foot ofMount Fuji and intoSuruga Bay at its mouth in the city ofFuji.

The banks of the Fuji River was the location of theBattle of Fujikawa in 1180, one of the most important early battles of theGenpei War. TheSengoku period warlordTakeda Shingen built extensive dikes along the Kamanashi portion of the river, which allowed water to flood buffer zones to control damage. These dikes still exist, and are called theShingen-zutsumi (信玄堤).Flood control efforts continued under theTokugawa shogunate of theEdo period, when extensive dikes were completed in 1674 after 50 years of construction, to divert the lower river away from populated areas, which were prone to flooding.

Water transportation up the river from Suruga Bay to inlandKai Province prospered in the Edo period and earlyMeiji period, until the opening of theTōkaidō Main Line,Chūō Main Line andFuji Minobu Railway railways. Commercial river transport ceased in 1923.

There are numerous dams forhydroelectric power generation and flood control along the various tributaries in the upper reaches of the river. The Fuji River also marks the divide of Japan'selectrical grid, with theutility frequency of 50 hertz to the east, and 60 hertz to the west.^[2]

The view of theTōkaidō Shinkansen train crossing the river against the background of Mount Fuji is a celebrated scene representative of Japan.^{[citation needed]}
