Even on the first boat of the day, the sunlight can be quite strong, so I recommend boarding early during the summer. Also, when the water level is high, quite a bit of water can come into the boat, so I suggest wearing sports sandals. While clothes can dry in the sun, shoes tend to take longer to dry. Spending the afternoon of your trip with wet shoes can be quite tough. However, I think having enough movement to get wet makes the ride more enjoyable.
朝一便でもかなり日差しが強いので、夏場は早めの乗船をおすすめします。また、水量が多いと船内にけっこう水が入ってくるので、足元はスポーツサンダルをおすすめします。服は日差しで乾いても靴は乾きにくいので。濡れた靴で旅の午後を過ごすのはなかなかキツイです。でも濡れるくらいの動きがあった方が乗っていてたのしいと思います。

We rode together as a family. The boatman's stories were interesting, and it was our first experience of river rafting, which was fun. The convenience store experience on the boat was also amusing.
We had a reservation, but perhaps because there are more departures on weekends, if you arrive early, they let you board in order without having to wait until your reserved time, which made it smooth.
However, the duration was a bit long. It was quite a cramped space with over 20 people seated for about an hour and a half to two hours, so I thought it might be a bit tough for the kids. This was also partly because it was summer.
親子で乗りしました。船頭さんのお話も面白く、川下りも初めての体験で、楽しかったです。船上のコンビニ体験も面白かったです。
予約していましたが、土日など便を多く出す日だからか、早く付けば、時間まで待たなくても、そのまま順番で乗せてくれるのでスムーズでした。
ただ時間が少し長いです。結構狭い空間で20以上が座って、1時間半〜2時間なので、子どもには少しきついかなと思いました。夏だったというのもありますが。

We departed on a weekday with two participants! It felt a bit awkward to have the place to ourselves, but there was no traffic, and with such a small group, there were no delays in gathering, allowing us to move efficiently.
In Shirakawa-go, we had a generous three hours for exploration, including lunch, and we were able to visit lesser-known photo spots, recommended homes, and souvenirs that our guide shared with us. We could visit all the open homes, and it was fascinating to see the unique features and innovations of each one.
Although we only viewed the Suganuma village in Gokayama from the car, it was evident that it is a small, real community where people live, and I felt that tourists shouldn't disturb it too much.
The Ainokura village also had a quiet, lived-in feel, making it feel like we were intruding. After a five-minute climb from the parking lot, there was a viewpoint where we could see the small village nestled in the mountains, and I imagined how harsh the winters must be there. It can be explored in about an hour, but I thought it would be nice to stay overnight (even though I said we shouldn't disturb it...).
Both the guide and the driver were experienced, which made us feel at ease. I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you!
平日出発で参加者は2名!貸し切り状態で申し訳ない感じでしたが、渋滞も無く、少人数なので集合遅れも無く、さくっと効率よく廻れました。
白川郷は昼食を含めてたっぷり3時間の散策時間があり、ガイドさんが教えてくださった、知る人ぞ知るフォトスポットやお薦めのお宅、お土産、をくまなく見学することが出来ました。
公開されているお宅は全て見学でき、お宅毎の特徴や工夫を見ることができ興味深かったです。
五箇山の菅沼集落は車窓からでしたが、こじんまりとした、リアルに生活している集落である事が見て取れ、あまり観光客が荒らしてはいけないなと感じました。
相倉集落も生活感のある静かな集落で、お邪魔させていただく感じです。
駐車場から5分程山を登ると展望できるスペースがあり、山あいの小さな集落で冬は厳しいのだろうなと想像できます。
1時間ほどで見て回れますが、ここは一泊してみたいと思いました。(荒らしてはいけないと言いつつ。。。)
ガイドさんもドライバーさんも慣れていらっしゃる方々で安心でした。
また異なる季節にお邪魔したいと思いました。
ありがとうございました!

On a night with thick snowfall, the warm glow of thatched-roof houses standing close together is wonderful, but this time I discovered the charm of Shirakawa-go in the height of summer. The generous sun nourishes the lush green rice fields, the sky is a clear blue, and the thatched roofs shine with a vibrant yellow like a Van Gogh painting, with all the colors vividly decorating the rural landscape. The guide's gentle yet humorous narration made the passing scenery even more enjoyable.
分厚い積雪の夜、肩を寄せ合うように立つ茅葺き屋根の灯火も素晴らしいものですが、今回は盛夏の白川郷の魅力も発見できる旅でした。惜しみなくそそぐ太陽は、深緑の稲を茂らせ、抜ける空は青く、茅葺き屋根はゴッホの絵のように輝く黄色を放ち、全ての色彩が鮮やかに里山を彩りました。添乗員さんの穏やかな中にもユーモアのあるガイドは過ぎゆく風景を何倍も楽しませてくれました。

You might get splashed with some water, but in the summer, you'll dry off quickly. Depending on the weather and water levels, I think it's a safe and enjoyable river descent even for children. Don't forget to wave at the trolley train when you encounter it! The summer sunshine, the green mountains, and the sound of the river are all wonderful.
多少水を被る事もあるが夏ならスグ乾く、天候水量にもよるが子供でも安全安心の川下りだと思います。

It takes about 30 minutes by trolley to get to Torokko Kameoka Station. The bus ride to the boarding area is about 15 minutes. It seemed a bit tight on time, but they guide you in that order after completing the check-in. There seem to be quite a number of boats available. The boarding time varies depending on the river's water level; when the water level is high, it seems you can reach Arashiyama in just one hour. We enjoyed a 1.5-hour boat trip. You can fully enjoy both the calm areas of the river and the narrow, varied elevation spots. It could be described as a natural Splash Mountain. Also, the experience of getting splashed with water is one of the highlights of the Hozu River boat ride. We participated as a group of five, and everyone was satisfied. Additionally, the scenery changes with the seasons, so I think you can enjoy the charm of the Hozu River at different times of the year.
トロッコでトロッコ亀岡駅までは30分程度。バスで乗船場までは15分。ちょっと時間的にタイトなように思いましたが、受付を終了してその順番で案内してくれます。船は相当数があるようです。乗船時間は川の水量で変わるようで水量の多いときは1時間で嵐山に着いてしまうようです。我々は1時間30分の船旅を満喫しました。流れのゆったりとした場所と細く高低差のある所など十分に楽しめます。自然のスプラッシュマウンテンといったところでしょうか。また、水は浴びてなんぼのものといった感じで、水を浴びるのも保津川下りの醍醐味です。今回五人で参加しましたが、全員満足してくれました。また、季節によって周りの景色も様変わりしますので、その時々の保津川の魅力を満喫できると思います。

Since I live in Kansai, I was looking for a tour departing from Kanazawa and discovered this tour, which I booked right away. After visiting the observation deck, we arrived at Shirakawa-go around 9:30 AM. Since it was a weekday, there were few tourists, allowing us to stroll leisurely without encountering many people. The photography spots recommended by the tour guide were fantastic, and even I, who rarely take photos, found myself snapping pictures everywhere. By around 11 AM, more tourists started to arrive, making it livelier. I recommend going early in the morning for a relaxed exploration.
Gokayama may be small in scale, but it was rich in content. The story of Ningyo-yama brought a tear to my eye. I would like to participate again in a different season. I look forward to it! Thank you to the driver and tour guide for a wonderful trip this time!
関西在住ですので金沢発のツアーを探していたところこのツアーを発見、すぐに予約しました。
展望台を経て白川郷到着が9時半頃、平日ということもあり観光客はまばらで、のんびり・ゆったり、人とすれ違うこともなく思う存分散策できました。そして添乗員さんに教えて頂いた撮影スポットが素晴らしく、普段めったに写真など撮らない私でさえ、気がつけばいたるところでシャッターを押していました。11時を過ぎた頃になると観光客も増え賑わってきました。ゆっくり散策するには朝早い時間帯がおすすめです。

I thoroughly enjoyed the nearly two-hour river descent. It may depend on the participants' morale, but the trip I joined departed on time and arrived at Arashiyama almost as scheduled. The three boatmen were all friendly and entertaining, providing enjoyable commentary and explanations. The river conditions were calm, so some participants had the opportunity to paddle in the gentle areas.
However, even though we departed at 9 AM, it was a clear day with temperatures in Kyoto exceeding 38°C, so it was quite hot. I eagerly boarded as passenger number one (probably in order of check-in) and took a seat at the very front, but the canopy in the front row only partially blocked the sun (the sun is lower in the morning), so direct sunlight was intense. I also felt the wind more in the front, so in terms of heat, it was about the same. I think those in the second row and beyond were fine regarding sunburn. Since this is a natural activity, any water exposure is at your own discretion, and you might get splashed depending on the situation.
Food and drinks are allowed on board, so it might be a good idea to bring bottled tea or snacks. The seats do not have backrests, and you will be swaying in the rapids for two hours, so it may not be suitable for those with weak backs. Additionally, masks are required on board.
2時間近い川下り、堪能しました。参加者のモラルにもよるかもしれませんが、私の参加した回は定刻出発、嵐山着もほぼ予定通り。船頭さん3人は皆さんトークも説明も楽しくて感じのいい方ばかりでした。川の状態が穏やかだったので、何人かは流れの緩やかな場所で漕ぎ手の経験をさせてもらっていました。
ただまあ9時発とはいえ京都市内が最高気温38℃越えを記録した快晴下ですので、暑いことは暑かったです。私は張り切って乗客番号1番で乗り込んだ(多分受付順)ので一番前の一番端に陣取りましたが、先頭列は日よけの屋根が中途半端にしか遮ってくれず(朝だと太陽の位置も低い)直射日光はキツかったですね。一番風も受けますし暑さでいえばトントンでしょうか。2列目以降の方は日焼けは大丈夫かと思います。自然のアクティビティですので、水濡れなどは自己判断で。状況によっては被ります。
船内は飲食・持ち込み自由なのでペットボトルのお茶やお菓子など持参するといいかも。
背もたれのない椅子で急流に揺られつつ2時間下りますので、腰が弱い方には向かないと思います。
なお、船内はマスク着用です。

Although it was the hot summer season, thanks to the shade, it was cooler than I expected, and the breeze during the rafting was very pleasant, making it comfortable. The boatmen entertained us with lively talks about plants, animals, and nature at various spots during the two hours. It was a special time where I could recharge my energy in a sense of liberation away from daily life! In spring, you can see cherry blossoms, and in autumn, the foliage, and without shade, you can enjoy an even more open feeling while rafting. I would like to try it in spring or autumn next time!
今年は梅雨明けが早く、例年よりも川の水量が少なかったこともあり、約2時間の川下りでした。夏の暑い時期でしたが、日除けがあったおかげで思ってたよりも涼しく、川下り中は風がとても気持ちよかったので快適でした。船頭さんたちは約2時間の中で、それぞれのスポットで植物や動物、自然の紹介等、軽快なトークを交えて楽しませてくれました。日常から離れた開放感の中で、エネルギーをチャージできるような特別な時間でした!
春は桜、秋は紅葉を見られるし、日除けがないためより開放感のある川下りを楽しめるそうです。次は春や秋に楽しんでみたいです!

The boatman's talk skills were outstanding, and it was a fun time that went by in a flash. I was sad when my recently purchased Hozu River boat ride towel fell into the river and sank during the rapids… ( ; ; ) But the boatman let me experience steering the boat, so it was a great experience! I thought it was harder than it looked. It seemed easy, but maneuvering a bus-sized boat with a pole while avoiding rocks in a rocky river is quite a challenge. It was hot this time, so I thought I would like to ride again during the autumn foliage season!
船頭さんのトーク力が抜群であっという間の楽しい時間でした。
途中、急流で直前に購入した保津川下りのタオルが川に落ちて沈んでしまったのが悲しかったですが…( ; ; )泣
でも、船頭さんが舵取り体験をさせてくれたのでいい経験が出来ました♪
見た目以上にハードだと思いました。簡単そうに見えましたが、岩だらけの川で岩を避けながらバス並みの船を棒?で操縦するのは至難の業です。
今回は暑かったので今度は紅葉の時期に乗りたいなと思いました!!

I experienced it during the rainy season in June, but it was still a time when it hadn't rained much. It seemed to be a period when the river's water level was lower than usual, and it felt like the boat was hitting the riverbed. We wrapped up after 1 hour and 45 minutes from the scheduled time. In the rapids, you might get wet. It was a hot day, but it was a bit cooler on the river, and I enjoyed hearing various historical stories. However, it is mandatory to present a voucher, and if you haven't printed it, you'll need to pay 50 yen to have it printed. At that time, the guide mentioned that if you use another ticket site accessible from the official website, printing is not necessary, which was a bit disappointing.
6月の梅雨に入ったけれどまだ然程雨の降っていない時期に体験しました。
通常より川の水が少ない時期のようで、川底に船があたるのような状況でした。予約時間から1時間45分で解散でした。
急流のあたりでは水に濡れることもあります。
暑い日でしたが、川の上は少し涼しく、さまざまな歴史の話などもあり楽しめました。
ただバウチャーの提出が必須で、印刷していないと50円で印刷してもらう必要があります。その際に、案内の方から公式サイトからいけるもう一つのチケットサイトであれば印刷不要であると情報があり、少し残念な気持ちになりました。

I learned that Hakone has attractions beyond just hot springs. The guide was friendly, and it was enjoyable. I would like to experience Hakone's nature again.
温泉だけじゃない、箱根の魅力を知ることがでしました。ガイドさんは気さくな方で、楽しかったです。また箱根の自然を体験したいと思いました。
Thank you very much for your participation. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
この度はご参加を頂き誠にありがとうございました。またのご参加を心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I have participated a few years ago, and the boatman is younger than before.
He was quite skilled in conversation, and I really enjoyed it.
The whitewater rafting was thrilling and better than the rafting in Wakayama.
I was surprised to see so many soft-shelled turtles along the river!
何年か前にも参加経験ありますが、その時より船頭さんが若年化しています。
話術巧みで、結構楽しめました。
急流下りではスリル満点で、和歌山の筏下りより良かったです。
川沿いにスッポンが沢山いてビックリしました!

I wanted to see the entire area of shibazakura at Shibazakura Park, so I participated. On the way, I saw shibazakura planted in the gardens of private homes, but the scale was completely different. I had never seen such a vast area covered in shibazakura like at the park, so it was definitely the right decision to go there. Additionally, at the tulip garden in Kamiyubetsu, I was able to see various types of tulips, which was interesting. Furthermore, the travel from Sapporo to the eastern part of Hokkaido is quite challenging, so I was really glad to be taken there by a sightseeing bus.
「芝ざくら公園の山一面の芝ざくらを見てみたい」と思い、参加しました。道中、民家の庭に植えられている芝ざくらを見ましたが、それらとは全然スケールが違いました。芝ざくら公園のように、あれほど広範囲にわたって芝ざくらが敷き詰められている光景を見ることはなかったので、現地に行って本当に正解でした。また、上湧別のチューリップ園では、様々な品種のチューリップを見ることができ、面白かったです。
加えて、札幌から道東までの移動は大変なので、観光バスで連れて行ってもらい、本当に良かったです。

Two hours flew by in no time. The breathtaking views of the Hozu River were amazing, and the guides were so much fun; I really enjoyed it. The level of thrill varies depending on the water level, but I believe the guides will keep the atmosphere lively no matter what. Masks are essential, but since eating and drinking are allowed, I was able to hydrate without hesitation. As we approached Arashiyama, a boat loaded with delicious treats came by, and I couldn't help but indulge in some dango. This time, it was all about the fresh greenery, so next time, I want to go see the autumn leaves.
あっという間の二時間。保津川の絶景はもちろん、船頭さんたちのガイドも楽しく、本当に楽しかった。水嵩次第で、スリルの程度は変わりますが、どんな時でも、船頭さんさんたちが盛り上げてくださると思います。マスクは必須だと思いますが、飲食自由なので、水分補給は遠慮なくできました。嵐山に近づいた頃に美味しいものを積んだ船が寄ってきて、ついうっかり、お団子を食べてしまいました。今回、新緑だったので、今度は、紅葉を見に行きたいです。
