Highlights

Discover a special day to experience Kyoto's stunning natural beauty and its thousand-year-old serene cultural heritage in the most immersive and complete way. Depart conveniently from Osaka and Kyoto for an enriching course centered around Arashiyama, Kansai's premier scenic spot. This tour includes a ride on the retro-themed Sagano Sightseeing Train and a traditional boat cruise down the Hozugawa River through the gorge.

With tickets for the sightseeing train and boat cruise, which are notoriously difficult to book individually via public transport, all included, you can fully immerse yourself in the hidden landscapes of northern Kyoto without complex preparations. Enjoy the dynamic gorge scenery flowing past your window, and as you drift down the calm river to the sound of the boatman's songs, experience a deep sense of peace and natural wonder unattainable in the city. A poetic journey woven by mountains, rivers, and railways awaits you.


Program

An Arashiyama Sensory Journey: Wind and Valleys Experienced Through Rails and Waterways

This premium nature healing tour offers a convenient full-day exploration of Arashiyama's core attractions, including the Sagano Arashiyama Sightseeing Train and the traditional Hozugawa River boat cruise, all with private vehicle transport.

Begin your day with Arashiyama's classic atmosphere, strolling through the verdant bamboo grove and across the Togetsukyo Bridge. During ample free time, visit the thousand-year-old temples and then board the charming, retro train that winds through the forest, feeling the fresh valley breeze. The highlight of the journey, the Hozugawa River boat cruise, offers a unique sense of awe and liberation as you navigate the pristine waters on a traditional wooden boat, as if stepping into an East Asian ink painting.

 

Experience Kyoto's thousand-year history amidst autumn foliage, aboard a train and a boat

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove & Temple Stroll: A Verdant Tunnel Reaching for the Sky

Walk through the bamboo grove in Sagano, once a retreat for aristocrats, and listen to the refreshing melody of bamboo leaves rustling in the wind. Visit Tenryu-ji Temple, a World Heritage site, and the Nononomiya Shrine with its black wooden torii gate, a setting from the classic novel 'The Tale of Genji', to calmly absorb the spiritual energy and refined atmosphere of this ancient capital.

The Sagano Arashiyama Sightseeing Train: A Retro Railway Journey Through the Gorge

Embark on a romantic 7.3km railway journey from Saga Station to Kameoka Station. Through the windows of this classic-themed train, a panorama of the majestic Katsura River gorge and lush forests unfolds. It's a special time to vividly experience Kyoto's four seasons up close – cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant foliage in autumn.

The Hozugawa River Traditional Boat Cruise: Connecting with Kyoto's Pristine Nature

Board a traditional wooden boat steered by an experienced boatman and cruise for about 2 hours down the magnificent Hozugawa Gorge. Take in the majestic scenery of strange rock formations and green cliffs rising from the clear river. It's the perfect healing experience to clear your mind of everyday worries while feeling the breath of nature.


"Experience a perfect day embracing Arashiyama's mountains and rivers, combining the classic romance of a retro train with the fresh valley breeze from a traditional boat cruise."
