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＞

A little autumn foliage. ちょっと紅葉

It was my first experience of the Hozu River boat ride. It lasted a full two hours. It seems like it was a bit early for the autumn leaves. I enjoyed various views from the river. Along the way, we got splashed with water, and it was quite a fun activity.

During the peak season for autumn leaves in Kyoto, I spent a relaxing time away from the crowds at tourist spots. 京都紅葉のハイシーズン　観光スポットの大混雑を他所にゆったりとした時間を過ごしました

Reviewed by: 京都大々好きおじさん

During the peak of autumn leaves in Kyoto, I pondered where to go on a Saturday and decided to book a ride on the Hozu River, thinking it would allow me to enjoy a less crowded experience. The result was a great success; I immersed myself in a leisurely time while admiring the colorful autumn leaves along both banks of the river. Although the water level was low, resulting in a two-hour ride—double the usual time—it was still delightful, with the sounds of waterfowl and the humorous commentary from the boatmen making it an unforgettable experience. I am very grateful to the crew for their kindness and commitment to safety. I would love to take a ride again during cherry blossom season.

京都紅葉の真っ盛り、しかも土曜日何処に行こうかと思案したなか、保津川下りを予約すれば混雑に紛れない時間を過ごせるのではと申し込みました。結果は大成功、保津川両岸に色付く紅葉を目にしながら、ゆったりとした時間に浸りました。水かさが少ないという事で通常の倍の2時間という乗船でしたが、それもなお可というか水鳥の囀りと船頭さん達のユーモア溢れる解説やらで時を忘れるほどの心地良さでした。親切かつ安全第一で案内していただいた船乗りの皆さんには大感謝です。桜の頃も乗船したいと思いました。

It was thrilling! スリルありました‼️

Reviewed by: ローボレー

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。

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

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。

I saw a red fox. キタキツネ見ました

Reviewed by: ごーるでん

On the day of the trip, it snowed and turned into a cold day. Since I wasn't used to driving on snowy roads, I chose a bus tour instead of renting a car. During the journey, I listened to an audio guide that explained the sightseeing spots and information about Hokkaido, and the guide also shared various stories, so I never felt bored. The lunch was delicious as well. Before lunch, I stopped at a drive-in and bought mushroom soup and mushroom rice balls, both of which were tasty and I highly recommend them. On the way back from Lake Toya, the guide pointed out that "a red fox is walking in the snow," and I was able to see it. There was also a garbage collection before getting off the bus. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful bus guide and driver, I had a great day.

当日は、雪が降って寒い1日になりました。雪道に慣れていないので、レンタカーというわけにはいかす、バスツアーを選びました。道中は、イヤホンガイドで、観光地や北海道についての説明を聞きながら、ガイドさんも色々と話してくれて、退屈する事なく過ごせました。昼食も美味しかったです。ランチ前に寄ったドライブインで、きのこ汁ときのこのおにぎりを買いましたが、どちらも美味しく、オススメです。洞爺湖からの帰路の途中で、ガイドさんが「キタキツネが雪の中を歩いている」と教えてくれ、見ることができました。バスの降車前にゴミの回収もありました。親切で明るいバスガイドさん、運転手さんで、いい1日が過ごせました。

Since there were few participants, we could choose our bus seats freely and sit comfortably, which was very pleasant. Both the guide and the driver were nice people. The lunch was also delicious. I think it was much more cost-effective in terms of time and money compared to going by public transportation on our own. However, it was a bit disappointing that we ended up with a group of foreign tourists on the Usuzan Ropeway, and it was extremely noisy.

The round-trip cable car ride, including lunch, allowed us to enjoy the experience for 10 hours, and it was a great value. The automatic audio guide via earphones was available in multiple languages, and it was convenient to just remove the earphones when we didn't want to listen. The mushroom soup and lunch were satisfying as well. The views at all the sightseeing spots were fantastic. Although it was sunny, the snow from a few days prior made the snowy scenery very beautiful. I'm glad we visited the bear ranch too. The guide took a lot of photos for us. Thank you very much.

ロープウェイ往復、昼食代も込みで、10時間かけて楽しむことができ、コスパ最高でした。イヤホンによる自動音声案内も多言語対応で、聞きたくない時はイヤホンを外すだけなのでよかったです。きのこ汁や昼食も満足でした。どの見学地も景色が最高でした。晴れの天気でしたが数日前の降雪のため、雪景色がとても綺麗でした。クマ牧場も行ってよかったです。ガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮ってもらいました。ありがとうございました。

The bus guide was kind, and the driver drove safely, so I was able to ride with peace of mind. If I could wish for something, it would be great if the time at the sightseeing spots could be set a little longer, even if the return time is later. Also, since the guide only spoke Japanese, foreign visitors might have had some trouble understanding the explanations.

バスガイドさんも親切で、運転手さんも安全な運転だったので、安心して乗車できました。欲を言えば、帰る時刻は遅くてもいいので、観光地の時間をもう少しだけ長めに設定して頂けると良かったです。また、日本語オンリーのガイドさんだったので、外国の方は説明がわからず少し困ったかもしれません。

I had a great time. とても楽しめました

Reviewed by: 関西在住

The passenger ratio was about one-third Japanese, with the rest mainly from China and South Korea. The guide was from China and spoke alternately in Japanese and Chinese. I thought I would get tired from the long bus ride, but the guide's skillful storytelling and the beautiful winter scenery outside made the time fly by. If I had to mention one thing, the exploration time was short, and I wished we could stay longer, but it seems unavoidable since the days are shorter in winter in Hokkaido. The guide mentioned that summer is more enjoyable. The snow-covered Hell Valley and Showa Shinzan were really beautiful, so I’m glad I visited in winter. The plan was well thought out, especially with the timing for sunset at Lake Shikotsu. I would like to book a different tour next time I visit Hokkaido.

乗客の割合は、日本人が1/3、その他は中国や韓国からが主でした。
ガイドさんは中国の方?で、日本語と中国語を交互に話してくださりました。
長時間バスに揺られて疲れるかと思いましたが、ガイドさんの巧みな話術や、外の冬景色に気を取られているとあっという間なように感じました。
ひとつ言うなら、散策時間が短いのでもっと滞在したいと思いましたが、冬の北海道は日が暮れるのが早いので仕方なさそうです。夏の方が楽しめるとガイドさんは仰っていました。雪の降った地獄谷や昭和新山がとても素敵だったので、私は冬に行ってよかったと思います。
日没に合わせた支笏湖など、とても考えられたプランでした。
また北海道に伺った際は、違うツアーを申し込みたいです。

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。

It was cold, and it snowed a little along the way, but both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya had wonderful scenery. Riding the ropeway provided a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. We also had lunch at the hotel, and it was a satisfying experience that felt far beyond a day trip bus tour. The day trip lasted a long time, from around 8:30 in the morning until the evening, and I thought the price was very reasonable. This trip to Hokkaido became my best memory.

寒くて途中雪が少し降りましたが支笏湖、洞爺湖とも素晴らしい景色でした。ロープウェイにも乗り360度のパノラマの景色は絶景でした。ランチもホテルで頂き、日帰りバスツアーとは思えないほどの満足感のある内容でした。朝の8時半くらいから夕方まで長い間の日帰りツアーで色々と連れて行っていただいて、料金はすごくお安いと思いました。この度の北海道旅行の1番の思い出になりました。

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

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。

The weather on the day was also wonderful, and the autumn leaves viewed from the river were very beautiful. I was able to see various wild birds, and the boatman's stories were as interesting as ever. I want to participate again next year.

去年初めて参加して、とても良かったので今年も参加しました。当日は天気にも恵まれ、川から眺める紅葉はとてもキレイでした。色々な野鳥も見ることが出来たし、船頭さんの話も相変わらず面白かったし、来年もまた参加したいです。

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 Hozu River boat ride was very enjoyable! ^_^ 保津川下り、とても楽しかったです^_^

Reviewed by: Ruby

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！！
ありがとうございました(^-^)

Kyoto Arashiyama Private Yakatabune (Houseboat) 京都・嵐山貸し切り屋形船

Reviewed by: MARI

The weather was perfect with no wind, and we enjoyed the view of Arashiyama from the yakatabune (houseboat). The boatman kindly explained the surrounding scenery with a touch of humor. Since it was a private charter, we spent a luxurious time eating the lunch we brought with us.

風もなく天気最高で屋形船の上から嵐山
の景色を堪能しました。
船頭さんも親切にユーモアを交えながら周囲の景色を説明して頂きました。
貸し切りなので自分たちで持ち込んだお昼を食べながら優雅なひとときを過ごしました。

札幌発支笏湖＆洞爺湖日帰りバスツアー有珠山ロープウェイも乗車＜昼食付きプランあり／1名から催行／札幌駅前発着＞

Impressions 感想

Reviewed by: ごん

The day after arriving in Sapporo, I participated in a tour. Since the next morning was early, I wanted to find the information center at Sapporo Station before heading to the hotel. However, I had a hard time locating it because there was construction going on inside the station. I felt it would be helpful if the information center's signs were more visible, such as being hung from the ceiling.

On that morning, there were about five people who were cutting it close on time and mentioned they had trouble finding the place. I was satisfied with the tour because we were able to visit all the places we wanted to go. The water at Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu was incredibly clear and transparent, which surprised me. I was thrilled to be able to walk down to the water's edge.

For lunch, we had a luxurious meal that was delicious, and I’ve attached a photo. We took the ropeway up to Mount Usu and walked from there to the summit. The magnificent scenery of Hokkaido was amazing. The tour duration seemed just right, and I appreciated the safe driving from both the guide and the driver. I got off at Susukino, and it was my first time being able to get off exactly where I wanted during a tour.

札幌についた翌日にツアーに参加しました。
翌日朝が早いのでホテルに行く前に札幌駅で案内所を見つけようと思って探したのですが、札幌駅構内も工事をしており案内所を見つけるのに大変苦労しました、構内側から見たときに案内所の表示が見やすいように、例えば天井から吊り下げてあればいいと感じました。
当日朝5人ほど時間ギリギリの方もいて場所がよくわからなかったとのことでした。
ツアーは行きたいところに行けたので満足してます。
洞爺湖、支笏湖の水がとてもきれいで、透きとおっていて驚きでした。
波打ち際まで降りることができて感激です。
お昼は、豪華な食事でおいしかったです、写真添付しておきます。
有珠山はロープウェイで上って、ついたところから歩いて頂上までいってきました。
北海道の雄大な景色が素晴らしかったです。
ツアー時間はちょうどいいかも、ガイドさんも運転手さんも安全運転で感謝です。
降りるところもススキのでおりました、自分の降りたいところで降りれるツアーは初めてです。

お肉が固いなと思った以外はおいしかったですよ（＾＾）
昭和新山も下に見えます。

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 booked the tour for a specific time, but it was meaningless. ツアーは時間で予約したが、意味なし

Reviewed by: TAKAKO

I had made a reservation for the tour based on the departure time, but when I arrived, it was based on the order of arrival. I had a reservation for a 12:00 departure, but I went at 11:35 and ended up departing at 12:30. I was very worried because I had a schedule to follow afterward.

ツアーは出発時間で予約していたのに、行ってみると到着順だった。
12時出発の予約が、11時35分に行って、12時30分に出発した。後のスケジュールがあったので、とても心配でした。
