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 thrilling! スリルありました‼️

I took a boat ride during this year's autumn foliage season (November 26). According to the boatman, the water level was low due to a water shortage, causing the boat's bottom to hit rocks, which created a loud noise that was a bit frightening, but it also added to the thrill. Despite the low water volume, there was a sense of speed, and I almost got splashed several times, desperately guarding myself with a plastic sheet. The autumn leaves were beautiful, and along the way, we encountered a trolley train, waving enthusiastically at each other. I would love to take another ride at a different time in the future. The boatman mentioned that the water volume is higher in March and April, which is his favorite time of year.

今年の紅葉時期(11月26日)に乗船しました。
船頭さんのお話では水不足で水位が低いので船底に岩が当たるのでゴンゴンと音がするとの事で少し恐怖感がありましたが、返ってスリルも増しました。水量が少ないとの事でしてがスピード感もあり何度も水しぶきがかかりそうになり必死でビニールシートでガードしました。
紅葉は綺麗でしたし途中ではトロッコ列車にも会え乗客同士で手を大きく振合いました。
いつかまた違う時期に乗船したいと思いました。
船頭さんは曰く3～4月は水量が多く自分は一番好きな時期とのこと。

I was able to fully enjoy the autumn leaves. 紅葉を堪能出来ました。

On the last Sunday of November, due to the high season, my reservation for 9 AM was canceled about four weeks in advance. Not wanting to give up, I managed to successfully rebook for 9 AM about two weeks ago, which was a relief.

It seems that slots that were previously unavailable are now opening up at the last minute, so it might be worth checking frequently. Although you are asked to arrive 15 minutes before your reservation time, there is a shop in the waiting area where you can eat and drink, and there are spacious, warm benches to sit on, so arriving early shouldn't be a problem.

You can bring food and drinks onto the boat, so you can enjoy snacks while calculating restroom breaks. The travel time by boat seems to vary depending on the river's water level. If it's not winter, there is a shop on the boat towards the end where you can also get warm food.

We happened to see a monkey, which made my child very happy. We enjoyed the autumn leaves while being entertained by the fun talks of the three boatmen. If I have the chance again, I will definitely come back!

11月最終週の日曜日ハイシーズンの為、4週間程前に朝イチの９時からの予約が一旦キャンセルとなってしまいました。諦めきれず2週間程前に9時を無事予約が完了してホッとしました。
ギリギリになって今まで空いていない枠が開く様なのでこまめにチェックもありかも。
予約時間の15分前を指定されますが待合室の中に売店があり飲食できる広くて温かいベンチに座りつつ食べるスペースがあるので早めに到着しても困らないかと。
船に飲食物持参可能なのでトイレを計算しつつ飲み食いしながら楽しめます。川の水量によって船での移動時間が変わる模様。冬季でなければ終盤に船の売店があるのでそこでも温かい物が食べられます。
猿とたまたま会えたので子供がとても喜んでました。
紅葉を楽しみながら船頭さん３人の楽しいトークに引き込まれました。また機会があればお世話になります!

時々トロッコ列車が通り過ぎます。
船の売店のおでんと温かいみたらし団子また食べたいです
嵐山付近。到着後ゴミ箱と公衆トイレあったのでとても助かりました。

It was good. よかった

Reviewed by: mama

The boatman’s paddling skills and enthusiasm are truly amazing! The scenery met my expectations. If you come to Kyoto, I recommend the riverboat ride just a short walk from Kameoka Station. The boat ride is thrilling yet relaxing, and once you reach the dock near Togetsukyo Bridge, enjoy some herring soba, visit the Kamo Shrine, then head into the crowds for a stroll through the bamboo grove and to enjoy the autumn leaves. It’s a packed itinerary! I’ll be going again in spring.

船頭さん、漕ぐ技術と盛り上げと、ホントスゴイ!景観も期待通り。京都に来たなら、亀岡駅から歩いて直ぐの川下りがオススメ。舟はスリルとまったり、渡月橋近くの桟橋着いたらニシン蕎麦食べて、御髪神社参拝して、人混みへ、竹林散策と紅葉狩り、もりもりコースです。次は春に行きます。

Beautiful sea キレイな海

Reviewed by: まい

I heard that if you're lucky, you might see a sea turtle, and I was able to find one swimming gracefully in the ocean. (Surprisingly, it was swimming so fast that by the time I took a photo, it had become small.) It was a different kind of excitement compared to an aquarium, and I'm really glad I participated.

ツイていたらウミガメが見られるかもとの事でしたが、海をスイスイ泳ぐウミガメを見つけることが出来ました。（意外と泳ぐのが早すぎて写真を撮った時には小さくなってました。）水族館とは違った感動が味わえ、参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

A unique sightseeing boat. ひと味違う観光船

Reviewed by: JAGUAR88

I thought I would be able to see coral reefs and schools of fish, so I decided to take this boat. When we set sail, I enjoyed the view from the upper deck, but once we arrived at the point, we moved to the cabin below deck. That's when the surprise came! The cabin itself descended into the water, allowing us to see schools of fish right next to us, and the coral reef on the seabed was just nearby, which was truly impressive. This tour should promote the fact that the cabin descends into the water more. (The boarding fee of 1,500 yen is also quite reasonable.)

海中のサンゴ礁・魚群が見れると思いこの船に乗ってみましたが、出港する際は屋上デッキで景色を見て、いざポイントに着くと船底の客室に移動しました。これからが驚き！船室自体が海中に降下し真横で魚群が見られ、サンゴ礁の海底もすぐそこで感激しました。このツアー船室が海中に降下する事をもっとアピールするべきです。（乗船料の1500円も安い）

A world that has continued since the Heian period, where you can enjoy wonderful scenery, thrills, laughter, and fresh air. 素晴らしい景色にスリルと笑いと新鮮な空気が味わえる平安時代から続く世界

Reviewed by: hirosaki

I visited on November 11, 2023, and although it was a bit early for the autumn leaves, the stunning scenery, thrill, laughter, and fresh air were incredible. The activities, which have been ongoing since the Heian period (130 years ago), attract 600,000 visitors from 120 countries annually and span 16 km over two hours. If you ever have the chance to visit Kyoto, be sure to include this in your plans. I recommend taking the Arashiyama Torokko train there and returning via the Hozu River boat ride; you will definitely be highly satisfied and find it perfect.

2023/11/11に行きましたが、紅葉には少し早く見れなかったが、素晴らしい景色にスリルと笑いと新鮮な空気が味わえる平安時代（観光は130年前）から続く世界120カ国年間60万人が訪れる16km2時間のアクティビティは素晴らしい。京都来られる事があるなら、是非予定に入れてください。行きは嵐山初のトロッコ列車で帰路は保津川下りで嵐山観光すれば絶対に満足度高いし完璧と思います。

The hardworking boatman. 頑張ってる船頭さん

Reviewed by: しん爺

The procedures were simple and on time, departing at 9 AM in the mist. After about 30 minutes, the fog cleared, and it was quite a charming moment. The autumn leaves weren't very beautiful, likely due to the nationwide lack of rain, but I enjoyed myself thanks to the boatman's thoughtfulness and playful banter.

I stayed at Route Inn near Kameoka Station, which is about a 5-minute walk to the boat dock. However, since parking was free, I moved my car from the hotel parking lot, which took just 2 minutes. If you park at the hotel, there’s an additional fee of 500 yen if you stay past 12 or 1 PM. For the return trip, since the tram station is far from the boat dock, I might take a taxi. If I return by JR, it’s only a 10-minute walk even at a leisurely pace. By the way, after exploring Arashiyama and Sagano, my wife took the tram while I took JR.

I hope to ride again during cherry blossom season someday.

Be careful as you can't go to the restroom for two hours, especially if you drink a lot. Although you arrive right in front of Arashiyama, there may be a wait during peak times.

手続きも簡単で時間通り、9時朝霧の中　出発
30分ほどで霧が晴れ,なかなか趣のあるひとときでした
紅葉は全国的な雨不足のせいもあり
あまりきれいとは言えなかったが
船頭さんの気遣いや駄洒落トークで気持ちよく楽しめました

亀岡の駅近くのルートインに泊り　5分くらいで歩いて船着き場に行けますが、駐車場が無料だったので、ホテルの駐車場から車で2分で移動。ホテルでの駐車は　１２時だったか１時を過ぎると、追加料金５００円を取られます。
帰りはトロッコ電車で帰ると,船着き場へは遠いのでタクシーかな？
ＪＲで帰れば、ゆっくり歩いても１０分
因みに私は嵐山・嵯峨野を散策した後、家内がトロッコ私はＪＲでした。

いつか桜の時期のまた乗りたいものです。

２時間トイレに行けないので注意。特に飲む人

There were many foreign visitors, but the boatmen really livened up the atmosphere, and the two-hour river ride was a lot of fun! (*^^*)

Anyway, the boatmen's talks were entertaining! They casually shared various stories with us!

Also, the boatmen work hard every day to improve their skills and ensure safety, so I felt secure during the ride! They truly have both skill and great communication abilities, and I'm really glad I went on this ride! (╹◡╹)

The required time and speed vary depending on the water level that day, and the scenery changes with the seasons, so I thought it would be nice to visit again in a different season!

Thank you very much! (^ -^)

外国の方が多かったのですが、船頭さんたちがとても場を盛り上げてくださり、２時間ほどの川下りはとても楽しかったです(*^^*)
とにかく、船頭さんたちのトークが面白いです！気さくにいろんな話をしてくださります！
また、船頭さんたちは日々、技術の向上や安全のために努力をなさっていて、その点でも安心して乗れました！本当に、実力もありトーク能力もある船頭さんで、本当に乗ってよかったです（╹◡╹）
その日の水量によって所要時間やスピードが違ったり、また季節によって景色も変わるので、また違う季節に行きたいなぁと思いました！！

Hozu River Boat Ride 保津川下り

Reviewed by: ココ

On November 12th (Sunday), it was still a bit early for the autumn leaves, but I was able to enjoy the pleasant scenery without it being too cold. I experienced this about 20 years ago, and it felt like the river was flowing faster back then, but the boatman mentioned that the water level was low, making it difficult to paddle. For 4,500 yen, you can enjoy nearly two hours and feel like you're on a trip. However, since my seat was towards the back, I could only hear the cheerful laughter from others and could hardly hear the boatman's stories, which felt unfair. I think it would be nice if they could use a microphone or adjust the seating prices accordingly.

11/12(日)紅葉にはまだ早いですが、寒すぎず長閑な風景が楽しめました。
20年ほど前に一度経験しましたが、もっと川の流れが早かったように感じましたが、やはり船頭さんが、水位が低くて漕ぐのが大変だと仰ってました。
4,500円で2時間近く楽しめて、旅行気分が味わえます。
席が後ろの方で、楽しそうな笑い声が聞こえてくるだけで、船頭さんの話がほぼ聞こえず、不公平感があり、マイクを利用するか、席で金額に差を付けて貰えると良いなと思いました。

Lift-style underwater リフト式で水中に

Reviewed by: 天ん邪鬼

This facility is located near the Churaumi Aquarium. The night before the experience, I was imagining whether the water would be murky due to the rain, but that wasn't the case at all. I was able to see the corals and many fish. We moved to the observation point while enjoying the scenery from the boat, so there was no seasickness. Once we arrived at the point, we moved to the bottom of the boat, and after taking our seats, we were lowered into the water, allowing us to see the fish from the side. Unlike a regular glass-bottom boat, where you look down from above, this setup makes it very easy to see everything. Before boarding, we also got to see turtles and dolphins!

美ら海水族館の近くにある施設です。体験前日の夜、雨降りで水中が濁っているかな？って、想像してしていましたが、そんなこともなく、サンゴや沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。観察のポイントまでは、船上で景色を眺めながら移動するので、船酔いもなく、ポイントに到着したら、船底に移動、着席したらリフト方式で海中にザブン、魚を横から見る事が出来ます。普通のグラスボートだと、上から覗き込むので、とても見やすいですよ。乗船するまでに、亀やイルカも見る事が出来ますよ、

乗船するまでにイルカが見る事が出来ます

The Torokko train and the Hozu River boat ride. トロッコ列車と保津川下り

Reviewed by: ともちゃん

The course is to take the Torokko train from Arashiyama and return via the Hozu River boat ride. I purchased the e-ticket for the Torokko train on KKday. I made a reservation for the Hozu River boat ride on Veltra, but I couldn't change the number of people, so I had to cancel everything and rebook. I was worried that I might not be able to rebook. This concern lowered my overall rating.

I was also anxious about whether I could take the shuttle bus to the boat dock, but I was able to buy tickets with a coupon at Torokko Saga using my Manaca card (¥310 per person). The shuttle bus itself wasn't too crowded, and it seemed you could pay with cash or a transportation IC card. This might have been because the Torokko Saga train departed at 9:02 AM.

Since I had purchased tickets on KKday and Veltra, everything went very smoothly overall.

The Hozu River boat ride was a leisurely experience powered entirely by human effort. It felt quite long. However, I thought the lack of a service to take pictures while on the boat was a bit lacking in customer service. Also, although it was clear in the morning, I heard that the boat service was canceled in the afternoon due to bad weather. We didn't encounter any rain, but it did suddenly become overcast in Arashiyama. We were lucky!

嵐山から行きはトロッコ列車、帰りは保津川下りで嵐山に戻ってくるコースです。
トロッコ列車はkkdayでEチケットを買っておきました。
保津川下りはベルトラで予約しましたが、人数減の変更が出来ず、いったん全部キャンセルして再予約の必要がありました。
もしかして再予約できないのでは？と不安でした(^^;(^^;
その点の不安が評価を落とした理由です。

あと船乗り場への連絡バスも乗れるのか不安でしたが、トロッコ嵯峨でクーポン付きの切符をマナカで買えました(\310×人数分）
連絡バス自体はそう混むこともなく、現金でも交通系ICカードでも乗れるみたいでした。朝一トロッコ嵯峨9：02発だったためかもしれません。
kkdayとベルトラで購入しておいたため全体としてとてもスムーズでした。

保津川下りはすべて人力のゆったりとした川下りを楽しめました。
とても長く感じました。
ただ船に乗ってる写真を撮ってくれるサービスが全くないのがサービス精神にいまいち欠けるなと思いました(^^;(^^;
あとこの日は午前中快晴だったのに悪天候のため午後欠航になったそうです。
私たちは雨には逢いませんでしたが、たしかに嵐山では急にどんよりした空になりました。運が良かったです(^^;(^^;

コーラルビュークルージング　濡れずに海中を探索！美しいサンゴ礁を見に行こう美ら海水族館すぐそば＜本部町＞by もとぶ元気村

Fun for both adults and children!! 大人も子供も楽しい！！

Reviewed by: Ocean

I had previously been on a glass-bottom boat, but since I was with children, I was worried about seasickness. So, I found this tour where you sit and look out the window and decided to sign up, and it was truly amazing!

I couldn't imagine what it would be like until I got on, but once I did, I was really excited!!

I definitely want to recommend it to my acquaintances!!

今まで、船底を覗くタイプのグラスボートには乗ったことがありましたが、子供連れでの参加だったので、船酔いが心配で、座って窓の外を覗くこちらのツアーを見つけて申し込んでみましたが、本当に最高でした！

どんな風になっているのか、乗るまでは想像もつかなかったのですが、実際に乗ってみて、とてもワクワクしました！！

知り合いにも是非勧めたいです！！

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＞

The advance information and the guidance for reservation confirmation and boarding at the embarkation point allow passengers to wait with peace of mind (the boat ride itself was rainy, but it was still good). 事前案内、乗船場での予約確認や乗船までの案内内容で乗客は安心して待つことができる（船下り自体は雨だったがまあ良かった）

Reviewed by: 初めての保津川下りした人

Honestly, I was filled with anxiety and impatience until we boarded the ship!
◎ Situation on the day
Our reserved boat ride was scheduled to depart at 11:00 with check-in at 10:45.
The shuttle bus from Torokko Kameoka Station left around 10:40.
The reservation information stated that the shuttle bus takes about 15 minutes, and that they would accept passengers even after the check-in time until the boat departs.
The bus was full, and we arrived at the boarding area around 10:50.
Since we were seated at the back of the bus, many people in front were unfamiliar with the payment process, causing delays, and as time passed, I became quite anxious as 11:00 approached.
When we reached the check-in counter, there was a long line (approximately 80 people).
There were separate lines for same-day tickets and reservations, so we naturally lined up in the reservation line (the same number of people were in line).
At this point, we had to fill out a card, wondering what the purpose of the reservation was as we waited.
It was well past 11:00, and the staff kept repeating, "We will call you in order," as numbers were called in the order of check-in, but what I wanted to know was whether everything would be alright since we were already past the check-in time.
Even though we had a reservation, we ended up on the last boat, which departed around 11:40.
Does that mean that many of the people in the same-day ticket line boarded earlier than us?
What is the point of making a reservation?
In the rain, we ended up on the last boat scheduled for 11:00 (departing at 11:40), but the boat ride was enjoyable thanks to the humorous guides.
◎ What I thought about it
If the connection with the Torokko was smooth, there would be no need to feel rushed (and it wouldn't be too long).
As first-time passengers, it would be helpful to have clear and polite guidance on the procedures for boarding, what to expect, and how long it would take to board in the crowded waiting area.
Creating an environment where passengers can wait comfortably until boarding, with clear displays of boarding order numbers, would be beneficial.
Shouldn't reservation customers have priority boarding?
I understand that they are in a difficult situation due to the harsh changes after COVID-19 and the circumstances surrounding the boat ride, but I hope they can continue this traditional boat ride safely.
I wish for their prosperity during the autumn foliage season.

正直、乗船まで、焦りと不安でいっぱいだった！
◎　当日の状況
私たちの予約した船下りは11:00発チェックイン10:45のもの
トロッコ亀岡駅着し連絡バスが発したのは10:40ころ
予約時の案内には連悪バス所要時間約15分で、チェックイン時間を過ぎても船発までは受け付けるとの記載があった
バスは満員で乗船場に着いたのが10:50ころ
バスの後ろに乗ってしまったため前から降りる人の支払いが不慣れな人も多くもたつき、ドンドン時間が過ぎ11:00が迫りかなり焦った
チェックインカウンター着くと長蛇の列（目算80人ほど）でごった返し
当日券と予約の列があり当然予約の列に並ぶ（同数の人が並んでいた）
ここでまた記載するカードがあり何のための予約かと思いながら記載して待つ
時間はとっくに11:00を過ぎ「順番に案内します」をスタッフが繰り返し、順番に先の受付順に番号が呼ばれて乗船していくが、ここで知りたかったのはチェックイン時間をドンドン過ぎているのに大丈夫なのかということ
私たちは予約していたのに最後の船11:40ころ発になった
とうことは、あの当日券の列に居た多くの人の方が早く乗ったとうこと？
予約って何？と思った
雨の中、11:00発予定の最後の船（11:40発）となったが、船下りは、ユーモアある船頭達の案内で楽しく過ごせた
◎　そこでどう思ったか
トロッコとの連絡連携がスムースなら焦ることもない（また長過ぎず）
乗客はまず初めてである　ごった返す乗船待合での「乗船までどういう手順なのか」「自分たちはどうなるのか」「どのくらいで乗れるのか」などの分かりやすく丁寧な案内や掲示、乗船順番号の掲示版などで乗船まで安心して待てる環境づくり
予約客から優先乗船ではないのかなぁ？
コロナ後の厳しい環境変化や船下りを取り巻く情勢などで苦境にあると思うが、伝統あるこの船下りを安全に続けていってほしい
紅葉季の繁盛を祈る

コーラルビュークルージング　濡れずに海中を探索！美しいサンゴ礁を見に行こう美ら海水族館すぐそば＜本部町＞by もとぶ元気村

Amazing!! 最高！！

Reviewed by: ボール

I made a reservation for the 10 o'clock ferry. There are five of us in the family (ages 9, 7, and 3). The weather was great, and the sunlight was streaming into the water, allowing us to see many fish—it was the best! The kids were amazed by how the boat worked! We created wonderful memories! I would like to use this service again when we visit Okinawa. The waiting time flew by as we watched sea turtles swimming in the pond! There are other activities as well, and I would like to try those too!

10時の便に予約しました。家族5人（9歳・7歳・3歳）　天気も良く水中には光が差し込み魚もたくさん見れて最高でした！船の仕組みに子供たちはビックリしていました！最高の思い出ができました！また沖縄に行った際は利用したいです。待ち時間などウミガメが池で泳いでいるのを見れたりあっという間の時間でした！他のアクティビティもありそちらもやってみたいです！

Because of the rain... 雨のせいで。。。

Reviewed by: Mill

This isn't to say that the tour was bad, but during my stay in Okinawa, it was only during this glass-bottom boat tour that it rained heavily, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. I was really disappointed thinking that if the weather had been nice, I would have been able to see the beautiful sea fish. I also wanted to experience feeding the dolphins, but since I had small children with me, I gave up on that. It was really unfortunate that the weather was nice in the morning on the day of the experience. I believe it would be a fantastic time if the weather is good.

これはこのツアーが悪い訳ではないのですが、沖縄滞在中、このグラスボートのツアーの時だけピンポイントで土砂降りであまり綺麗に魚が見えませんでした。
天気さえ良ければ最高に綺麗な海の魚が見えたんだろうなと思うと残念でした。
いるかのえさやり等も体験したかったのですが、小さい子もいるので諦めました。
体験の日も午前はお天気だったので、本当に残念過ぎました。
お天気だと最高に楽しめると思います。

The submarine itself looks something like this. 潜水艦自体はこんな感じかな。

Reviewed by: まなまな

The submarine starts at 10:00. I received an email stating that it would take 30 minutes to fill out the paperwork, so we were told to gather at 9:30. Since our hotel was near Kokusai Street and considering the traffic to Motobu Genki Village, we decided to leave two hours early. At this point, we left at 7:30, and with small children, the morning was quite hectic.

On the way, we bought discount tickets for the Churaumi Aquarium at the roadside station Kyoda and arrived by 9:30. When I went to the reception to fill out the paperwork, I was told, "You have already completed your payment, so please gather over there 10 minutes before." There was no paperwork, just a name confirmation. I wish they had said to gather at 9:45 instead, especially since it was early in the morning.

We waited in the heat, and it felt like a waste of precious morning time. Once on the boat, there was only one guide speaking in a normal voice. With the sound of the waves and being behind the guide, I couldn't hear what was being said. The boat started moving suddenly without any signal to depart. I had various thoughts about this, but considering the low price, I thought it was just how it was.

By the way, you will see fish near the coral around Sesoko Island. If you have done snorkeling at Sesoko Island, I think that would be better. The guide did provide explanations about the fish and coral, which was a positive aspect.

10時開始の潜水艦。
事前にメールで、書類など書くのに30分かかるので9:30集合とあった。
国際通り付近のホテルだったので、もとぶ元気村まで道が混んだことも考え2時間前には出発。この時点で7:30発と、小さな子供もいたので朝はバタバタした。
途中、道の駅許田で美ら海水族館の割引券を買ったりで9:30までには到着。受付に書類書く気で行ったら、「〇〇様は事前に支払いも終わっているので、10分前になったらあちらへ集合してください。」と。書類なんか無く、名前確認のみ。え、なら9:45集合と言って欲しかった。朝早いのに。
暑い中待たされ、朝の貴重な時間がムダになった感じだった。
船に乗ってからは1人のガイドさん？が地声で話すのみ。波の音もあって、ガイドさんの後ろ側にいたので何を言っているのか聞こえず。出航の合図もなくいきなり動き出す船。ちょっと色々と思う事はありましたが、料金は安いしこんな感じかなと。
ちなみに、瀬底島のサンゴ付近で魚を見ることになります。瀬底島でシュノーケリングをしたのであれば、そちらの方が良いと思います。
魚やサンゴの説明をガイドさんがしてくれるので、そこは良かったです。
