The scenery along the train was beautiful, and the Hozu River rafting was even more impressive and spectacular. Our guide Anna provided thoughtful service, making it a truly wonderful trip!
It's a pity I didn't see the cherry blossoms. If I come to Kyoto again, I definitely want to experience it again.
