This was a truly unforgettable experience. My 14-year-old son and I went kayaking on the Hozu River. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery while paddling, allowing him to escape the electronic world and enjoy nature. We even did some cliff diving along the way; although not very high, it was a new experience for him. The instructor was very engaging and humorous, and after kayaking, we were treated to a hot spring in Arashiyama – very thoughtful! I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Arashiyama!
It was really fulfilling and enjoyable, and the tour leader was very kind. If you install the LINE app, you can easily contact the tour leader! (Thank you, Naomi-chan♡) However, please note that this tour is a package that combines round-trip transportation between Osaka and Kyoto, the Sagano train, and the Hozugawa River boat tour; it does not include a separate guide. Visits to the bamboo forest, shrines, etc., are optional personal activities included in the 2.5 to 3 hours of free time! If you plan to do that time in advance, it would be good to reduce waiting times at restaurants! I rode a rickshaw, which was located at the starting point of Togetsukyo Bridge. There is a floating snack bar near the end of the boat tour, so please bring cash if you plan to use it.
The staff were friendly and very professional throughout the entire event, and the photography service was a fantastic experience! Even I, who am afraid of water, had a great time! The kids had a blast!
