==Geography== Yawata is located in southern Kyoto Prefecture near the confluence of three rivers: the Kizugawa, Ujigawa, and Katsura. Because of the widespread low-lying wetlands prone to such flooding, the old city was located on a natural embankment that was slightly higher than the surrounding area, called Minamiyama. Yawata has several enclaves, located on the border between Fushimi-ku, Kyoto and Kumiyama, and on the border between Kyōtanabe and Hirakata, Osaka.
