==Geography== Yazu is located to the far east of Tottori Prefecture. Its highest peak is Ōginosen (), which is located on the border of the city of Tottori, the towns of Misasa and Chizu, as well as Shin'onsen in Hyōgo Prefecture. Ōginosen is part of the Daisen Volcanic Belt. The mountain is part of Hyōnosen-Ushiroyama-Nagisan Quasi-National Park, and has facilities for skiing and camping. The Hattō River (), the largest tributary of the Sendai River, flows through Yazu, as does a smaller tributary, the Kisaichi River (), which traces its origin to Ōginosen.
