All Reviews of Hozugawa River Boat Ride

I experienced the Hozugawa River Boat Ride in Kyoto, traveling downstream through the valley with forests and mountains on both sides. The whole trip felt adventurous. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any photos of the boat this time, so I can only rely on my memories of the scenery and experience.

Along the way, the river was calm at times and fast-flowing at others. It was even a little thrilling when we reached the faster currents, and the whole ride was full of variety. Sitting on the boat and enjoying the natural scenery along the river was also a very unique way to travel.

The boat ticket is a bit pricey,
but it's still pretty worth it.

The scenery is beautiful, and while you're on the boat, the boatmen will even chat with you.

I took the little train to Kameoka, then switched to the boat for a ride down the Hozu River. The scenery along the way was stunning, and sometimes the rapids made it really exciting and fun.
