Nabari and Uda Rivers live camera — Mie / Nara
Tributaries draining the Iga and Nabari basins into the Kizu. The valleys are deep, so a rise arrives fast.
Sample October 2026What you are looking at
Three rivers meet in the Nabari basin. The Shorenji and the Uda join the Nabari, and the one river they make joins the Kizu at Okawara. This feed shows points along those tributaries in turn.
The thing to watch is the start of a rise. The valleys are deep and along much of the course the channel has little width to spare, so rain that fell upstream arrives quickly. The rocks and riffles visible on an ordinary day disappear one after another in a short time.
The Nabari drains 615 square kilometres over a channel 62 kilometres long, and inside Nara Prefecture it also goes by the name Satsuki. The Uda, which joins it, drains 194 square kilometres over 28 kilometres. The arrangement delivers water from separate valleys to one flat place, the basin, at the same moment.
Each of the three carries a dam. The Shorenji dam on the Shorenji has a catchment of 100 square kilometres. The Muro dam, on the middle Uda, has a direct catchment of 136 square kilometres plus 33 more indirectly, because water is brought in from the Muro, a tributary. The Hinachi dam on the Nabari has been in operation since 1999. Which dam does the work depends on where the rain fell.
It moves at the tail of the rainy season and through the typhoon months of August and September. Which dam does the work depends on which valley the rain fell in, so watching the three in turn shows how differently they rise. The harder the rain, the darker the picture, and a wet lens smears it. For evacuation, go by what the local authority announces. The feed makes its round of the three rivers' points.
