Descriptions
Drift through one of Kyoto's most spectacular natural landscapes on the legendary Hozugawa Kudari — a traditional river boat ride with over 400 years of history. Departing from Kameoka, this iconic 16-kilometre journey follows the Hozugawa River downstream through the dramatic Hozukyo Gorge, arriving at the celebrated sightseeing district of Arashiyama in approximately two hours. Aboard a traditional flat-bottomed wooden boat, a skilled crew of three expert boatmen navigates through calm, glassy pools and exhilarating rapids using bamboo poles and oars — a technique refined over centuries. Their lively commentary, local knowledge, and unmistakable humour bring the river's history and legends to life, making the journey as entertaining as it is beautiful.
