Kiyosu City is located near the center of the Owari Plain in western Aichi Prefecture, with its southern edge bordering the city of Nagoya. Kiyosu also abuts Inazawa and Haruhi to the north, Nagoya to the east, and Jimokuji to the west.
With an area of 1,331 hectares and stretching 5 kilometers east to west and 5.5 kilometers north to south, Kiyosu accounts for 0.26% of the area of Aichi Prefecture. Its geography is relatively flat. Located in the lower reaches of the Shonai River basin, most of the city lies less than 10 meters above sea level. The city is blessed in its proximity to multiple fresh water sources including the Shin, Gojo, and Shonai rivers, and its natural beauty is enjoyable year-round.
