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 boating
How about taking a boat ride on the Hozu River in Kyoto, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from Kameoka to Arashiyama? In the Hozu River, you can see the valley changing its colors depending on the four seasons. The cherry blossoms in spring and the colored leaves in fall are truly beautiful. Therefore, it is a famous attraction visited by numerous tourists every year.
Don't worry even in winter. You can admire the pure white canyon covered in snow from a heated boat.
How about a trip like this?
The most fun way to enjoy boating on the Hozu River! Boating on the Hozu River departs from Kameoka. We recommend taking the toroko train from Shiga to Kameoka and then taking a boat ride on the Hozu River to Arashiyama.
In fact, you can see beautiful scenery by taking the Torokko train, but boating on the Hozu River has a completely different feel, and experiencing the Hozu River valley is truly unique, so it is best to travel on the above route.
- Make a reservation for the Torokko train outbound line
(Closed from January to February 2024)

The charm of boating on the Hozu River
Boating on the Hozu River involves a fairly large boat, and the trip takes about two hours from Kameoka, upstream, toward Arashiyama. The biggest charm of boating on the Hozu River is that although it is traditional, the outside scenery is full of beautiful scenery that you can't find anywhere else.
A total of three boatmen take turns on the Hozu River boat ride, and they travel at a speed that allows you to see the beautiful scenery. In particular, the valley section offers overwhelming scenery. It's definitely very attractive, so I definitely recommend giving it a try.
