Hozu River Boat Ride 保津川下り

Reviewed by: Gift

Currently, the river has little water, so it wasn't an exhilarating river descent, but the boatman's storytelling was great. I've heard that in October, the scenery will be wonderful with the autumn leaves.

今は川の水が少なく、迫力ある川下りではなかったが、船頭さんのしゃべりがよかった。10月になれば紅葉で素晴らしい景色になるそうです。

It was my first time kayaking, and I was blessed with great weather, enjoying the magnificent scenery and the beautiful blue of Lake Shikotsu! There were many participants that day, and they really got everyone excited by taking lots of photos, referring to themselves as teams from different prefectures (laughs). I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

京都・嵐山貸切屋形船水面から季節を楽しむ優雅な舟遊び＜飲食物持込OK／1時間貸切＞by 嵐山通船

The best yakatabune (houseboat). 最高の屋形船

Reviewed by: すぎちゃん

We rented a private boat as a family. It was a hot day with a 12:00 boarding time, but the boat had a roof, so it wasn't hot at all, and it felt very pleasant. We had lunch on the boat, bringing our own rice balls and other snacks. Along the way, a convenience store boat came by, and we bought some pickled cucumbers, which made for the perfect lunch with our rice balls and croquettes! They got really close to us, and their maneuvering skills were impressive.

The captain spoke to us gently at key moments, showing consideration for our family's relaxing time. It was a very satisfying hour! Thank you!

家族で貸切で乗りました。12:00からの乗船で暑い日だったのですが、船には屋根もあり暑くなく、とても気持ちよかったです。船の中でお昼ご飯を食べました。おにぎり等持ち込みました。途中水上コンビニの船が来てくださり、きゅうりの浅漬を買い持ち込んだおにぎりとコロッケで最高のランチが出来ました！ギリギリまで近寄ってくれてその操作技術が素晴らしかったです。
船頭さんは要所要所で穏やかに話しかけてくださり、家族でゆっくりしている時間を気遣ってくださいました。大満足の1時間でした！ありがとうございました！

The houseboat has a roof, so while it may not be cool, it provides shade from the sun, making for a comfortable experience. Thank you for expressing your great satisfaction. Here, you can enjoy the scenery throughout the four seasons. We look forward to your family’s next visit aboard.

屋形船は屋根が有りますので日差しが遮られ(涼しくはありませんが)暑くなく、気持ちよくご乗船いただけたとの事。

Reviewed by: メコン

I signed up for this tour because I wanted my children to have an experience in Hokkaido for the first time. Since we had done kayaking a few times in the remote islands of Okinawa, we were able to do it smoothly, which was great. The scenery was truly Hokkaido, surrounded by mountains, with a light mist adding to the very magical atmosphere, and I was moved by its beauty. The children were also amazed by the clarity of the water. I learned that in winter, you can do this with snow piled up, so I want to come back in winter as well. It's a quick and easy tour, so I recommend it.

子供たちと初めての北海道で、何か体験をさせたくて、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。
沖縄の離島などで何度かカヤックを体験していたのでスムーズにできたのでよかったです。
景色は、さすが北海道だな〜という山に囲まれ、うっすら霧もでてきて、とても幻想的な雰囲気のなかその美しさに感動しました。
子供たちも、水の透明感などに驚いていました。
冬は雪が積もった中するとのことで、冬にも来たくなりました。
サクッとできるツアーなので、おすすめです。

A luxurious time 贅沢な時間

Reviewed by: Ma

The journey from Kameoka to Arashiyama took just under two hours, and I was able to enjoy it very leisurely. On the day I participated, the water level and flow were low, and I was impressed by the boatmen who kept us entertained while paddling under the blazing sun. There were many foreign tourists, and there were explanations in English, but I found myself laughing at the dad jokes that foreigners probably wouldn't understand. I learned that in the past, agricultural products and rice were transported to the capital in this way, and I can only imagine the hard work that went into it. It was deeply moving to think that I was part of this ongoing tradition while riding on that boat. Thank you very much.

亀岡から嵐山まで2時間弱の旅、とてもゆっくり過ごせました。参加した日は水量や流れが少なく、炎天下で漕ぎ続けて盛り上げてくれた船頭さん達には脱帽です。外国人旅行客が多く英語を交えた案内もありましたが、外国人にはわからないであろうおやじギャグにツボりました。昔はこのように農産物やお米が都へ運ばれたとのこと、大変なご苦労だったと思います。今も続く伝統と、その船に乗っているんだなと思うと感慨深いものがありました。ありがとうございました。

I want to go back to the Hozu River boat ride. また行きたい保津川下り

Reviewed by: sakiko

On June 26, 2024, I took a boat ride down the Hozu River. It was the rainy season, and the previous day had been canceled, but today we were blessed with wonderfully refreshing weather that was neither too hot nor humid. From the moment I boarded, I was filled with excitement. The veteran boatman, perhaps? He skillfully guided us while facing backward and entertained the foreign guests in English. I had a great time and definitely want to go again. The boatman's biceps were impressive!

A relaxed and elegant two hours. It's necessary to pay attention to the weather and water levels. ゆったりと優雅な2時間天気と水量を狙う必要あり

Reviewed by: ６人家族

On a Friday morning just before the rainy season, with low water levels, I participated in this activity. It was relaxing, with occasional swift currents. The sky was blue, and I could feel the wind. I saw herons, ducks, turtles, and soft-shelled turtles, making it a pleasant experience. The boatmen worked hard, rowing with great effort, and they were also good at storytelling. When the water level is low, moving stones from the riverbed is part of their job.

They also let us experience rowing from the bow, which was very enjoyable. This traditional activity, which has been continued for over 400 years, is a part of the culture. I felt that it is something one should experience while living in Japan.

水量の少ない、梅雨直前の平日金曜日の朝、参加。ゆったりと、そしてたまに急な流れのところあり、空は青く、風が感じられ、サギ、鴨、亀、スッポンなど見られ、気持ちの良いアクティビティでした。船頭さんは３人ですごく頑張って漕いでくれて、お話も上手、水かさが少ないと川底の石をどかすことも仕事の内だとか。
舳先で漕ぐ体験もさせてくれてとても楽しかったです。400年も前から続く伝統のアクティビティは文化です。日本に住み、経験しておくべき、と思いました

The river rafting was incredibly fun!!! 川下り、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！！

Reviewed by: ひつじのショ～ン

On May 4th, my family of seven participated from Ishikawa. I was a bit anxious since I signed us up on my own, but to cut to the chase, we had an absolutely fantastic time, and everyone in the family said they enjoyed it too! We were blessed with great weather and beautiful scenery, but what stood out the most were the three wonderful boatmen who made the experience enjoyable with their fun conversations, keeping us laughing the whole time.

The river had several rapids, and we got splashed quite a bit, which was incredibly fun! My children and I were seated at the ends, so we got pretty soaked, while the family members sitting in the middle stayed dry. If you don't want to get wet, I recommend not sitting at the ends.

The hour and a half of river rafting flew by because we were having so much fun. Thank you so much for being considerate of both the kids and the parents in various situations! Also, I want to express my gratitude to the staff member who prepared motion sickness medication for my youngest child, who started worrying about getting seasick before boarding. Everyone was so kind, and we had the best time!

5月4日に石川県より家族7人で参加させて頂きました。
私の独断でお申し込みをしたので、家族皆がどう思うか内心不安でしたが、結論から言うとすっっごく楽しかったですし、家族皆も楽しかった～！！と言っていました！
お天気にも恵まれ景色も綺麗でしたが、何より船頭さん御三方が素敵な方々でトークも楽しくて終始爆笑していました。
川下りは何カ所か急流があり、派手に水しぶきがかかってびしょ濡れになってめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！
私と子ども達は両端に座っていたのでかなり濡れましたが、真ん中に座っていた家族は濡れなかったので、濡れるのが嫌な方は両端には座らない方が良いかと思われます。
楽しすぎて1時間半の川下り、あっという間でした。
子ども達にも両親にも色んな場面で気配りをして下さって、本当にありがとうございました！！
そして、乗船前に船酔いの心配をし始めた一番下の子に、酔い止めを用意して下さったスタッフの方、本当にありがとうございました！！
皆さんにすごく親切にして頂いて最高に楽しむことができました。

A canoe trip on Lake Shikotsu is a must when visiting Hokkaido! I decided to join for my last memory here. Since it was March, I thought I had missed the best season for fresh greenery, but the clear kayak allowed me to see the riverbed well, and I was able to encounter fish and kingfishers. It was thrilling! I was told that usually, the fish would escape and be hard to see, but in winter, their movements are slow, so it was great to see them clearly. The weather was nice, making Lake Shikotsu, the mountains, and the Chitose River beautifully green. I took some photos myself, but the instructor took so many beautiful shots that I didn't even need to. My favorite photos are the posed ones and the underwater videos. The instructor was cheerful and engaging, making for a very fulfilling and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much!

All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

支笏湖クリアカヤック体験手ぶらOK！底が透明なクリアカヤックで、水質日本トップクラスの支笏湖へ＜4歳～参加OK／写真データプレゼント／2時間／現地集合＞

No problem with the cold in a dry suit! ♡ ドライスーツで寒さも問題なし！♡

Reviewed by: エギ

Kayaking on Lake Shikotsu while encountering wildlife was amazing! I was worried about the cold, but the gear included in the tour price (a dry suit with integrated shoes, a knit hat, gloves, and a snood) was very warm, and wearing Heattech, a long-sleeve T-shirt, and sweatpants was sufficient.

Since we didn't rent a car and used public transportation, we arrived early, but it seemed that the nearby restaurants generally didn't open until around 11 AM. When we went to the tour office, even though it was before opening time, they kindly provided us with information, and we ended up finding one restaurant that was open, which was a great help.

Our guides, Yama and Ai, were friendly and didn't overwhelm us with information, providing just the right amount. I feel like there are surprisingly few guides who engage in proper dialogue, but Yama and Ai had a great balance and shared a lot about the national park, making it very enjoyable.

The staff at the tour office were also very welcoming, and they gave us great recommendations for cafes to visit after the tour. I regret that I couldn't properly express my gratitude as the bus to the cafe arrived quickly and we were in a bit of a rush.

I had a wonderful experience and made great memories. Thank you!

支笏湖でカヤックをしながら野生の動物にも出会えて最高でした！
寒さが心配でしたが、ツアー代金に含まれていたウェア（靴と一体型のドライスーツ、ニット帽、手袋、スヌード）がとても温かくて、中はヒートテックと長袖Tシャツにスエットのズボンで十分でした。
私たちはレンタカーをせず公共交通機関で行った為、早くに到着したのですが、周辺の飲食店は基本11時くらいにならないと開かないようでした。困ってツアーオフィスに行くと時間前だったのにも関わらず色々教えてくださり、結果的には一店舗空いているお店があり、大変助かりました。
ガイドの山さん、アイさんはフレンドリーで一方的に話しまくるわけではなく心地よい量の情報をくださいました。
きちんと対話していると感じられるガイドさんって意外と少ない気がするのですが、山さんとアイさんは距離感も良い感じで、国立公園のあれこれも教えてくださったりして、とっても楽しかったです(^^)
ツアーオフィスの皆さんもとってもアットホームでツアーの後に行くと良いよ、と素敵なカフェ情報を教えて頂きました。最後カフェ行きのバスが来てしまいバタバタでしっかりお礼をお伝えできなかったことが悔やまれます。
とても楽しい思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございました！

支笏湖クリアカヤック体験手ぶらOK！底が透明なクリアカヤックで、水質日本トップクラスの支笏湖へ＜4歳～参加OK／写真データプレゼント／2時間／現地集合＞

It was amazing! サイコーでした！

Reviewed by: うさぎのしっぽ

As expected, the water quality is outstanding, the best in Japan. You can see the color of the water change in areas of different depths, and the differences came out beautifully in the photos. The instructor's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to paddle right away. It was fun. After the experience, my first-grade child was begging, "I want to come again tomorrow!"

さすが水質抜群日本一です。深さの異なるところで水の色が変わるのが分かり、写真にも違いがきれいに映りました。インストラクターの方の説明も分かりやすく、すぐにパドル操作できるようになりました。楽しかったです。体験後、小学１年生の子が「明日も来る！」とねだっていました！

京都・嵐山貸切屋形船水面から季節を楽しむ優雅な舟遊び＜飲食物持込OK／1時間貸切＞by 嵐山通船

First time on a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat). 初めての屋形船

Reviewed by: そらみみさん

We took a private yakatabune (houseboat) ride for the first time with four people. What was great was not only the scenery but also the kindness of the boatman, who spoke to us at just the right distance, neither too close nor too far. He was a wonderful person.

We brought our own bento, but along the way, a shop boat came by, and we purchased some mitarashi dango (sweet rice dumplings). It was such a nice surprise. I plan to recommend this experience to others as well.

四人で貸切の屋形船に初めて乗船しました。
何が良かったかって、景色もさることながら、船頭さんが優しくて、付かず離れずよい距離感でお話ししてくださったことです。とても良い方でした。
お弁当は持ち込みましたが、途中、売店の船が来てくれて、みたらし団子を購入。こういうのもすごく嬉しいです。周りにも勧めようと思います。

京都・亀岡保津川下り事前予約でハイシーズンも安心！絶景・伝統・激流を楽しむ日本最古の川下り＜約2時間＞

It was so much fun! めっちゃ楽しい

Reviewed by: 優一郎

Whenever I go to Arashiyama, I always take a boat ride down the Hozu River and then enjoy walking around and eating in Arashiyama. It's so much fun, and I recommend it especially during the autumn foliage and cherry blossom seasons as it's beautiful. You might get a little wet. There are no restrooms for about two hours, so make sure to go before you start.

いつも嵐山行く時は必ず保津川下りしてそのまま嵐山で食べ歩きします。めっちゃ楽しいし紅葉シーズンや桜のシーズンはきれいなのでおすすめ。若干濡れます。トイレは2時間ぐらい行けないので必ず行っておくこと
