Autumn leaves 紅葉

I had a wonderful time enjoying the boatman's stories while admiring the scenery and the autumn leaves. There were also thrilling moments as we navigated through the rapids, which added to the fun.

船頭さんの話を楽しみながら、景色や紅葉を眺めて、大変よい時間が過ごせました。激流を下るスリルも所々あり、楽しめました。

Secret spot 秘密のスポット

Reviewed by: nagominn

They told us about photo spots that are great for Instagram, which we couldn't hear about on the tour we went on before... We had a lively conversation!

It was definitely a spot without other people, and we were able to take beautiful photos! The rice cracker grilling experience was just in time for snack time...

Next time, I want to join a sightseeing tour in Toyama!

前に行ったツアーでは
聞けなかった写真のインスタ映えスポット等を教えてくれたり。。。
楽しい会話で盛り上がりました！

確かにほかの人たちがいないスポットでしたし奇麗に写真が撮れました！
おせんべい焼き体験も丁度おやつの時間タイムだったので。。。

今度は富山の観光ツアーがあれば行きたいです！

Dear Nagominn,

Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. It was truly wonderful to capture images at the lesser-known "secret spot" that are perfect for Instagram. I hope you felt it was a great value!

Also, the timing for the rice cracker grilling was just right for snack time. We are delighted that you enjoyed this tour. Thank you very much.

From the tour guide on the day.

Relaxing and laid-back, sometimes thrilling, and then a big laugh. のんびりゆったり時々ハラハラ、そして大笑い

Reviewed by: かよかな

I wanted to see the autumn leaves, but my 82-year-old mother has difficulty walking. I thought we could enjoy it without walking if we took a boat, so we participated together. My mother was worried, saying, "I can't swim," but the boatman reassured her, saying, "You definitely won't sink, so it's okay." We enjoyed the autumn leaves from the river, felt the terrain from the front to the back of the mountain, and had a great time laughing at the boatman's guidance and stories. We bought grilled squid and dango from the shop on the boat. Eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious! The two hours flew by. The three boatmen, sweating as they rowed, entertained us and looked really cool!

紅葉を見たいけど、歩くのが大変な82歳の母。船なら歩かずに楽しめると思い親子で参加。
「泳げないんだけど」と、不安になっていた母に「絶対沈没せえへんから大丈夫」と船頭さんに言われひと安心。川の上からの紅葉を楽しみ、山の表から裏へ地形を感じ、船頭さんのガイドとトークに大笑い。売店の船で購入したイカ焼きと団子。船の上で食べるのは格別に旨い！あっという間の２時間でした。
船頭さん３人衆が、汗だくで漕ぎながらも私達を楽しませて下さり、カッコ良かったですよ♪

The beautiful autumn leaves are causing delays in the schedule. 美しい紅葉が見られるゆえに予定通りにはいかない

Reviewed by: 1000

In mid-November, I made a reservation due to it being the best season for autumn leaves. The Hozu River boat ride offered beautiful scenery, and the boatmen's stories were entertaining. Although we got splashed with water, it was thrilling, and I felt it was worth the ride. However, despite making a reservation, we had to wait for an hour due to the crowds. In the end, whether you have a reservation or not, you end up waiting the same amount of time upon arrival. I would appreciate it if adjustments could be made so that those who reserved in advance can depart within 15 minutes of their scheduled time.

For those who can schedule after the Hozu River boat ride, I recommend making reservations with ample time during this season.

11月中旬、紅葉ベストシーズンゆえに、予約しました。保津川下りは景色も良く、船頭さんたちの話も面白く、水がかかりますがスリリングでもあり乗って良かったと思います。しかし、せっかく予約したのに混雑で１時間待たされました。結局予約しても、しなくても到着したら同じ様に待たされます。せめて、事前に予約した分には、予約時間から15分以内には出発できるように調整をお願いしたいです。
保津川下りのあと、予定を入れられるかたは、この時期だけは余裕のある時間で予約を入れることをおすすめします。

Reviewed by: のりすけ

After a 10-minute ride on the JR train from Saga-Arashiyama Station, I arrived at Kameoka Station. It took about 5 to 6 minutes on foot to reach the boarding area while seeing Kyocera Stadium on my right.

After completing the check-in, I was guided to the boat in less than 10 minutes of waiting, and the adventure of the Hozu River boat ride began. The skilled navigation and chatter of the three boatmen entertained all the passengers on board.

The colorful autumn leaves were vibrant, and everyone was taking lots of photos. The excitement of getting splashed with water while going down the rapids was also fun, making it a memorable 1 hour and 50-minute boat journey.

Thank you to the boatmen from that time!

嵯峨嵐山駅からJRで10分亀岡駅に到着。京セラスタジアムを右手に見ながら徒歩5,6分で乗場です。
受付を済ませ、待つこと10分足らずで舟に案内され、いよいよ保津川下りの始まりです。3人の船頭さんの巧みな操船とお喋りが満員の乗船客を楽しませてくれます。
色付いた紅葉は目にも鮮やかで、皆さん写真を撮りまくっていました。
急流を下る時には全身水を被るハプニングも楽しく、一生心に残る1時間50分の船旅でした。
あの時の船頭さん、ありがとうございました。

You will go down the river in about 1 hour and 30 to 50 minutes. There aren't many rapids, but it's fun. The guide's narration is enjoyable (in Japanese only). About two-thirds to three-quarters of the passengers are foreigners. Passengers are quite close to each other in the front, back, and sides, so those who are sensitive may want to avoid it.

1時間30～50分で川を下って行きます。
急流はあまりありません。が楽しいです。

Shirakawa-go was a place I had always wanted to visit, but it’s not easy to get there without a car, and you need to do some research to navigate efficiently, so I’m glad I chose a tour.

They also informed us about the main spots and the best photo locations, and the lunch was very delicious. I even bought the miso that was served for lunch afterward.

Recently, I've heard about accidents involving sightseeing buses, but I felt very safe with their careful driving. The guide was enjoyable to listen to and had a friendly demeanor, which was great. I thought I would recommend it to my friends if they plan to go. Thanks to this experience, I was able to create wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

白川郷はずっと行きたかった場所でしたが、車がないとなかなか行けないし、要領よく回るのも下調べが必要なのでツアーにして良かったです。

主要な場所やベストショットの位置も教えていただき、お昼ご飯もとても美味しく、昼食に出ていた味噌も食後に購入しました。

近頃は観光バスの事故も耳にしますが、とても安全運転で安心しました。ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、話しかけやすい雰囲気の方で良かったです。友人が行くならば勧めようと思いました。おかげでいい思い出作りができました。ありがとうございました。

I had the experience in early November when the autumn leaves were at their peak. We departed at 10 AM, and I was very moved to see the moment when the fog cleared. Also, the boatman's funny talk brought a lot of laughter. I thought this was a typical Kansai-style comedic response.

I joined thinking it would just be a relaxing boat ride while enjoying the scenery, and I was looking forward to eating oden at the end! However, there were three boatmen who provided explanations and stories throughout the trip✨ Since I was at the very front, I was able to engage in conversation and had an amazing time‼️ More than anything, the explanations were great, but the jokes and banter made it incredibly entertaining. It rained, but I think that added a unique touch to the experience, making it a memorable one in a different way‼️ I will definitely go again.

ただ船に乗って揺られながら景色をみて、最後におでんとか食べるのが楽しみなやつ！と思い込んで参加しました。が、船頭さん３人居て終始説明やお話をしてくれました✨1番前だったのもあって、会話も出来てものすごく楽しめました‼️なにより、説明もそうだけど、冗談やツッコミもあって最高に面白かったです雨だったけど、それもなかなか味わえないかと思うので違った形で思い出になりました‼️また絶対行きます

I participated alone, but I had a wonderful day! 1人参加でしたが素晴らしい1日を過ごしました！

Reviewed by: mkk

The weather was clear from the morning, which gave me a good feeling, and as expected, not only did I get to visit Shirakawa-go and Takayama, which I had wanted to see for a long time, but I also had a wonderful day thanks to the veteran guide's wealth of information and excellent hospitality!

Guide Kuroda provided valuable insights not only about Shirakawa-go and Takayama but also about local souvenirs from Kanazawa, which was greatly appreciated coming from a local. After returning home, I was able to savor delicious souvenirs (like Tsukiyomi Yamaji and Shiso Monaka) and relive the experience. Speaking of souvenirs, I honestly didn't have high expectations, but the senbei I tried at Sasara-ya during the senbei-making experience was incredibly tasty. I found out that the shop is not too far from where I live, and I’m already thinking about going back to buy some!

Back to the tour, the clear weather provided many photo opportunities. I felt a bit rushed in Shirakawa-go, but I think if it had been rainy or cold, it might have felt longer, so perhaps the timing was just right.

Also, with various food preferences, I was honestly worried about the limited lunch options, but even I found the lunch to be delicious!

In Takayama, I quickly checked out the Jinya and then leisurely enjoyed walking around the old town and tasting local foods.

It was such a satisfying tour that I want to visit in a different season as well!

朝から快晴だったこともありいい予感がしていたのですが、期待通り、ずっと行きたかった白川郷と高山だけでなく、ベテランガイドさんの情報量と素晴らしいおもてなしで素敵な1日になりました！

ガイドの黒田さんの情報は白川郷や高山だけでなく金沢の(お土産)情報など、地元の方だからこそありがたかったですし、実際帰ってからも美味しいお土産(月読み山路、紫蘇もなかなどなど)で余韻に浸ることもできました。お土産といえば、正直あまり期待はしていなかったのですが、せんべい焼き体験で立ち寄ったささら屋さんのおせんべいがとっても美味しくて、地元からそう遠くはないところにお店があることもわかり今度買いに行きたいと思ってるほどです！

話は戻ってツアーに関してですが、快晴でシャッターチャンスも多く、白川郷では少し時間が足りないと感じましたが、もし雨だったり寒かったりしたら長く感じたかもしれないのでちょうどいいのかなと思いました。

あと、食の好みもいろいろあり、正直選択肢のないお昼は心配ではあったのですが、そんな私でもお昼は美味しくいただきました！

高山も陣屋をささっと見てから古い街並みでの食べ歩きもゆっくり楽しむことができました。

また違った季節にも行ってみたいと思うほど大満足なツアーでした！

It became a good memory. 良い思い出になりました

Reviewed by: コアラくん

I had previously taken the trolley train, but due to my travel schedule, I couldn't board the Hozu River boat ride. This time, I managed to join the schedule mainly focused on the Hozu River descent. I have experienced rafting and various river descents, but this time the water level on the Hozu River was the lowest of the year, allowing for a leisurely boat trip to Togetsukyo Bridge.

I boarded from the second seat on the right side, and unexpectedly, I was splashed by waves, leaving my lower body completely soaked. However, that became a wonderful memory of the trip. Next time, I definitely want to board on a day with a higher water level. Thank you for the truly enjoyable memories!

以前よりトロッコ列車に乗車はしておりましたが、旅行日程の都合で保津川下りには乗船することが出来ず、今回保津川下りメインのスケジュールで何とか乗船することができました
ラフティングやあらゆる川下りを体験して来ましたが、保津川の川下りは今回水量が今年一番の少なさということで、渡月橋までのんびりとした船旅を満喫出来ました
私の乗船した場所は前から2番目の右側で途中思いもやらぬ波の洗礼を受け右下半身ずぶ濡れになりましたが、それも旅の良い思い出となりました
次回は水量の多い日に是非乗船したいと思います。
本当に楽しい思い出ありがとうございました

Finally, Shirakawa-go! ❣ 念願の白川郷❣

Reviewed by: サラの母さん

I had been refraining from traveling since the pandemic, but I decided to start again this year. For now, I thought I would stick to domestic travel, aiming for the autumn leaves in Shirakawa-go, which I've always wanted to see. I wanted to avoid crowds, so I planned my visit on a weekday.

Since I'm coming from Sapporo, I was unsure whether to depart from Nagoya or Kanazawa, but choosing Kanazawa turned out to be the right decision. It had been a long time since my last visit, and I was surprised at how modern it has become. I really enjoyed walking around.

As for the tour to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, the guide was absolutely wonderful, and I learned a lot. There were also foreign participants, so the explanations were provided in both Japanese and fluent English. It was a great opportunity for me to learn how to convey information in English as well (laughs).

It rained a bit, but the autumn leaves were stunning, and there was plenty of time for free exploration, which made the experience truly enjoyable.

Thank you very much. I highly recommend this tour.

コロナ下になってから旅行を控えていましたが、今年から再開。今のところ国内かなと思い、念願の白川郷の紅葉を狙っていました。人込みを避けたいので平日に。
札幌からですから、名古屋発にしようか金沢発にしようかと迷い、金沢にして正解。昔一度行ったきりですが、随分モダンに変わったのですね。散歩しても楽しかったです。
肝心の白川郷・五箇山行きのツアーですが、ガイドさんがとても素晴らしく、大変勉強になりました。外国の方も参加されていたので、日本語・流暢な英語で説明してくださいました。これを英語ではこう伝えるのだなと英語の勉強にもなりました（笑）。
ちょっと雨は降りましたが、紅葉が素晴らしく、且つ自由散策の時間がたっぷりとられていて、本当に堪能できました。

The autumn leaves are still a little while away. There are some areas that are starting to change color. Therefore, it wasn't crowded. The stories from the boatmen were enjoyable. It seems the water level was a bit low, so we were on the boat for about an hour and 45 minutes. However, we did get splashed a little. When the boatman signals, everyone on the left and right should definitely lift their seats. I get seasick on the ocean, but not on the river. (^.^) Next time, I would like to visit during the peak season for the autumn leaves.

紅葉はもう少し先です。
所々色付きはしています。
なので、混雑していませんでした。
船頭さん方のお話楽しかったです。
水量が少なめだったらしく１時間４５分位乗船してました。
でも、少し水かかりました。左右の人は船頭さんの合図がかかったら必ずシート上げてね。
海では船酔いをしますが、川はしないですね。(^.^)
次回は紅葉のベストシーズンに伺いたいと思います。

金沢発着日帰りバスツアー白川郷＋五箇山 2つの世界遺産めぐる合掌造り周遊山の幸満載の昼食＜月・火・金催行／添乗員同行／1日＞

It was a tour with a guide, providing comfort and peace of mind. ガイド付きで、ゆとりと安心のツアーでした。

I appreciated the thoughtful attention of the guide from the morning gathering! His calm demeanor and reassuring voice made for an enjoyable time. Of course, the mountain scenery in this season and the favorable weather also contributed, and I would like to challenge myself again on a trip with this guide.

朝の集合時から、ガイド氏の気配りの行き届いた対応に感謝！　
落ち着いた物腰、安心感を与えてくれる発声で楽しい時間でした。　
無論、この季節の山景色、好転に恵まれた天気もあり、再度このガイド氏の添乗旅行なら挑戦してみたい。

I was able to participate on a day blessed with wonderful weather!
I didn't feel cold because I was wearing a down coat.
I prepared a waterproof case to take photos, but it wasn't dangerous enough to risk submersion.
If the timing is right, you can take pictures of the trolley and the autumn foliage scenery!

天気に恵まれて、とてもいい天気の日に参加することができました！
ダウンコートを着ていたため、寒さは感じませんでした。
写真を撮りたいため、防水ケースを用意しましたが、水没しそうなほど危険はありませんでした。
タイミングが合えば、トロッコと紅葉の景色を写真に撮ることができます！

Reviewed by: まさまさ

It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun. Since the water level was low, it was slow-paced, but that was actually good because I had children with me. Next time, I hope to challenge myself when the water level is higher.

初めての体験でしたが、とても楽しかったです。水量が少ない分、ゆっくりでしたが、子ども連れだったので、それはそれで良かったです。次は、水量が多い時にチャレンジできたらと思います。

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＞

I couldn't stop laughing at the boatman's chatter! 船頭さんのお喋りに笑いっぱなし〜

Reviewed by: イッシー

I was recommended by a friend to definitely experience the Hozu River Boat Ride if I came to Kyoto during this season, so I made a reservation. My reservation was for 11:00, but when I arrived at the boarding area at 9:45, I received number 42 and was called right away, so I was on the boat by 10:00! I think there were more than 20 people on each boat. The boatman kept us entertained with humorous stories throughout the approximately two-hour ride, and we were laughing the whole time. It was the beginning of the autumn leaves, and the contrast of the green and yellow leaves below with the red leaves above was very beautiful. One highlight was when the boatman walked along the edge of the boat to switch places, and it was just perfect timing when the vendor boat came alongside selling beer and sweet sake. Moreover, I was sitting towards the back, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to hear the boatman’s stories, but the boatman at the back also provided explanations, which made me very happy. When disembarking, he took my hand to help me down, and I was impressed, thinking, “This is what ‘going above and beyond’ means!” The Hozu River Boat Ride smoothly guided tourists, delighted them, moved them, and left them satisfied. Thank you very much.

友人からこの時期に京都に来るなら絶対に保津川下りを体験して！と勧められて予約しました。11時の予約でしたが9時45分に乗船場に着いたら、42番と言う番号を貰ってすぐに呼んでいただいて10時に船に乗っていた！と思います。一艘に20人以上は乗っていたと思います。船頭さんはおよそ２時間の川下りの間、お客様を飽きさせないように漫談のようなお喋りをして下さってずっと笑いっぱなしでした。紅葉の初めだったのですが、もみじの下が緑、黄色、上だけ紅に紅葉しているコントラストがとても綺麗でした。途中で船頭さんが船のヘリを歩いて交替するのも見どころですし、売店船が並走してビールや甘酒を売ってくれるのも丁度頃合いが良かったです。そして、何よりも私は後ろの方の座席だったのですが、お喋りする船頭さんのお話しが聞き取りにくいんじゃないかと心配していたら、後ろの船頭さんも説明をしてくださってとても嬉しかったです。下船の際には中高年の私の手を取って下ろして下さって、「至れり尽くせり！」とはこの事だわ〜‍♀️と関心しました。観光客をスムーズに案内し、喜ばせ、感動させ、満足させてくれる保津川下りでした。有難うございました。

秋晴れの素晴らしい保津川下り

Reviewed by: 優一郎

I go down the Hozu River every year, and it's still so much fun! This time, the water level was high, so we arrived at Arashiyama quickly. While getting lightly splashed and listening to the boatman's interesting stories, we arrived in no time! After the Hozu River ride, we enjoyed some food walking around Arashiyama. ♬

毎年保津川下りに行ってるけどやっぱり楽しい
今回は川の水量が多くて嵐山まで早く着いたけど水しぶきを軽く浴びながら船頭さんのおもしろい話聞いてるとあっという間に到着！

A peaceful holiday before the autumn leaves. 紅葉前の穏やかな休日

Reviewed by: つきちゃん

If there had been more autumn leaves and a greater water flow, it would have been even better. At first, we had a lively conversation, but in the second half, we talked a bit less. Also, I wanted to express my gratitude at the end, but unfortunately, I got off the boat without doing so. I wish we could have closed with that before disembarking. The weather was warm and very pleasant. Thank you very much.

紅葉がもっとあって、水量が多かったらさらに最高でした。最初はさまざまなトークで盛り上がりましたが、後半は少し口数が少なかったです。あと、最後はお礼を言いたかったのですが、流れで船を降りてしまい残念でした。降りる前に閉めてもらいたかったです。気候も暖かくとても気持ちよかったです。ありがとうございました。

The guide was amazing. ガイドさん最高

Reviewed by: マコ婆

When I got on the bus, I found today's pamphlet already in the seat pocket, so everything was ready to go. The driver had clearly gotten enough sleep and greeted us politely, assuring us of their commitment to safe driving! The guide explained even the emergency stop button for unexpected situations, showing that they prioritized our safety.

The guide also used their own drawings and photos to provide fun and easy-to-understand explanations. I was impressed by their fluent English. For lunch, I felt a bit lacking without dessert, but we were able to explore Shirakawa-go and Gokayama at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much.

バスに乗ると座席の網にはもう今日のパンフレットが入っており、準備万端でした。運転士さんはしっかり睡眠とってきてますがー安全運転に努めます。と丁寧な挨拶❗️ガイドさんはもしもの時の緊急停止ボタンまで説明してくださり私たちの安全を第一に考えてくださっているのがよくわかりました。
ガイドも、自作の絵や写真を駆使して楽しくわかりやすい説明でした。英語もペラペラで凄いなーと思って聞いてました。お昼ご飯はデザートがあればなーなんてちょっぴり物足りなさがありましたがゆっくり白川郷や五箇山を探索させてもらいました。ありがとうございました。

Dear Mako,

Thank you for participating in the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama tour the other day. I'm glad to hear that you were able to stroll around Shirakawa-go and Gokayama at a leisurely pace. I believe you were able to take some great photos while you were there. Please do visit again in a different season. While you enjoyed the beautiful autumn leaves this time, the completely white winter landscape and the springtime world heritage village wrapped in greenery are also truly breathtaking!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

A little early for autumn leaf viewing. 少しはやい紅葉狩り

Reviewed by: かいで

I was lucky to be able to make a reservation through Veltra for an early autumn leaf viewing on the Hozu River, as there were no direct reservations available. If I had gone directly, I would have had to wait 1 hour and 50 minutes on a weekday. I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but the check-in process was smooth, and after using the restroom, I was guided right away to depart.

The boatman was youthful and shared enjoyable stories, making the experience even more delightful as we admired the mountains and various rock formations. It was a peaceful experience where I could really feel the nature around me. I would love to go on the boat again.

少し早い紅葉狩りに保津川下り直接の予約はなく、ベルトラさんで予約可能だったのでラッキーでした。
直接だと平日でしたが1時間50分待ちの案内が出てました。予約時間よりも早く着いたのですが受付もスムーズでトイレだけ済ませたらすぐに案内され出発できました。
遠い記憶で乗船した時よりも、船頭さんも若々しく楽しいお話し案内してくださり、山々やいろんな岩の形状を楽しく観賞出来来ました。
穏やかで自然をたくさん感じられました。
また、乗船したいと思います。

The water level was low and the autumn leaves were still to come. However, I had a great time with the boatman, so I'm glad I was able to take this trip. This was my second experience, but this time I was able to enjoy the scenery and sounds at a leisurely pace. I felt like I wanted to visit again to see the different seasons and their unique charm.

水量も少なく紅葉もこれからでした。でも船頭さんと楽しい時間が長くもてたので、今回乗船できて良かったと思います。
私は２回目の体験でしたが、今回はゆとりを持って景色や音を楽しめました。
また違う季節と風情を見に行きたいと感じました。
