The Hino River emerges from the Chūgoku Mountains.

The source of the river is at an elevation of 1,004 metres (3,294 ft) in an area near Mount Mikuni and Mount Dōgo in Nichinan in southeastern Tottori Prefecture.

The lower part of the Hino River flows through the Yonago Plain[2] before finally discharging into Miho Bay at Hiezu near Yonago.

Erosion over time has created the scenic Sekkakei Ravine.

[1] Approximately 60,800 people use the water provided by the Hino River.
