I really want to tell you to take a ride. The boatman&#39;s talk is nice, but even if you don&#39;t understand, the scenery is so pretty that it&#39;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~

Highlights

The most fantastic scenery you can see,
Hozugawa River Boat Ride

It's a great way to travel while enjoying a boat ride along the Hozugawa River, which flows from the center of Kyoto to Arashiyama. The Hozugawa River is truly beautiful in all four seasons, and about 300,000 people visit it every year to enjoy boat rides.

You can see fantastic scenery while traveling from Kameoka to Arashiyama. See the beautiful scenery in all four seasons with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn with the Hozugawa River boat ride.

Program

From the center of Kyoto Prefecture to Arashiyama,
Hozugawa River Boat Ride

How about meeting the beautiful scenery from Kameoka to Arashiyama with a Kyoto Hozugawa River boat ride? In Hozugawa, you can see the colorful valley changing colors depending on the season. The scenery is truly beautiful with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. That's why it's a popular spot visited by many tourists every year.

Don't worry even in winter. You can enjoy the snow-covered white valley from a heated boat.

How about this trip?

The most fun way to enjoy the Hozugawa River boat ride! The Hozugawa River boat ride departs from Kameoka. We recommend traveling from Shiga to Kameoka by the Torokko train, and then traveling to Arashiyama by the Hozugawa River boat ride.

In fact, you can see beautiful scenery by the Torokko train, but the Hozugawa River boat ride is a completely different feeling, and experiencing the Hozugawa River valley is really unique, so it's best to travel on the route above.

- Book a Torokko train downline

How to use the Hozugawa River boat ride

You can use the Hozugawa River boat ride by presenting your WAUG voucher at the Hozugawa River cruise ticket office in Kameoka City. It's not difficult to find as it's the ticket office at the Hozugawa River cruise pier.

The charm of the Hozugawa River boat ride

The Hozugawa River boat ride moves on a fairly large boat, and it operates for about 2 hours from Kameoka, which is upstream, to Arashiyama. The biggest charm of the Hozugawa River boat ride is that it is traditional, but the scenery outside is so beautiful that you can't find it anywhere else.

The Hozugawa River boat ride is operated by a total of 3 boatmen who take turns, and it operates at a speed that allows you to see the scenery beautifully. In particular, you can see the overwhelming scenery in the valley section. It's definitely so attractive that I recommend you to try it.
