BESTI really want to tell you to take a ride. The boatman's talk is nice, but even if you don't understand, the scenery is so pretty that it's enough.. Riding the rapids that appear occasionally is also fun. Before boarding, exchange tickets at the window, and there is a number written on it. nice trip~
Where you can see the most fantastic scenery,
Hozu River boating
Another great way to travel is by boating along the Hozu River, which flows from the center of Kyoto to Arashiyama. The Hozu River is truly beautiful all year round, and about 300,000 people visit it every year to go boating.
You can see fantastic scenery as you travel from Kameoka to Arashiyama. Take a boat ride on the Hozu River to see the beautiful scenery all year round, with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall.
From the center of Kyoto Prefecture to Arashiyama,
Hozu River Boat Ride
How about enjoying the beautiful scenery from Kameoka to Arashiyama on a boat ride on the Hozugawa River in Kyoto? You can see the valley changing into various colors depending on the season. In spring, it is covered in cherry blossoms, and in fall, it is covered in autumn leaves. That is why it is a famous place visited by many tourists every year.
Don't worry about winter either. You can enjoy the snow-covered white canyon from the heated boat.
How about a trip like this?
The most fun way to enjoy the Hozugawa River boat ride! The Hozugawa River boat ride starts from Kameoka. I recommend taking the Torokko train from Shiga to Kameoka, and then taking the Hozugawa River boat ride to Arashiyama.
In fact, you can see beautiful scenery by taking the Torokko train, but a boat ride on the Hozugawa River is a completely different experience, and experiencing the Hozugawa River Valley is truly unique, so traveling on the above route is the best.
- Book a Torokko train down line
How to use the Hozu River boat ride
You can take a Hozugawa River boat ride by presenting your WAUG voucher at the Hozugawa River Cruise Ticket Office in Kameoka City. It is located at the Hozugawa River Cruise Boarding Station, so it is not difficult to find.

The charm of a boat ride on the Hozu River
The Hozugawa River boat ride is a fairly large boat that travels from Kameoka upstream to Arashiyama in about two hours. The biggest appeal of the Hozugawa River boat ride is that it is traditional, but the scenery outside is so beautiful that you won't find it anywhere else.
The Hozu River boat ride is operated by three boatmen who take turns, and they operate at a speed that is just right for viewing the beautiful scenery. In particular, the valley section offers an overwhelming view. It is definitely so charming that I highly recommend you try it.
