It was great, but it was hot. 最高でしたが、暑かったです。

I participated in the Obon summer event. The scenery and the boatman's stories were amazing! However, it was too hot... Next time, I want to join in a different season. ^ ^

お盆の夏日に参加しました。
景色も、船頭さんのお話も最高でした！
だだ、暑すぎて…
今度は季節をかえて参加したいです^ ^

自然に癒されました。

As a memory from the end of summer vacation. 夏休み終盤の思い出に

Reviewed by: タルルー

I went out with my elementary school daughter and our family of three.
It was my daughter's first time rafting, and we were blessed with good weather, enjoying the 100-minute journey.
The scenery and the large rocks were impressive, and we were captivated by the beauty of the clear river.
As we approached Arashiyama, we got excited in the final stretch while snacking on mitarashi dango and grilled squid from a vendor boat we were sailing alongside.

小学生の娘と家族3人で出かけました。
娘は初めての川下りで、天候にも恵まれ100分ほどの行程を楽しみました。
景観や大岩も見応えあり川も透明度高く美しさに魅了されました。
嵐山に近づいた時に売店船と並航してみたらし団子やイカ焼を求めてつまみながらの終盤に盛り上がりました。

Hozu River Boat Ride 保津川下り

Reviewed by: 2児母

I went on August 21. The boatman's stories were fun! It had rained until the day before, so the water level was high and there were waves, which made it enjoyable. I was a bit worried about the weather, but I used an umbrella and it was hot. The mitarashi dango that came by boat at the end was too delicious! Haha, there was greenery, and it was soothing. I want to see beautiful scenery with cherry blossoms and autumn leaves! I also want to take the trolley train again!

8月21日に行ってきました。船頭さんのお話楽しかったです！前日まで雨で水量多くて波もあって楽しく乗れました、天気も気になりまたが日傘して暑いぐらいでした。最後にボートで売りにきてくれたみたらし団子美味しすぎました！笑　緑もあって癒やされました。桜、紅葉と綺麗な景色みてみたいです！トロッコ列車もリベンジしたいです！

Kyoto 初京都

Reviewed by: トトロ

Since it was a reservation made in advance, I just had to show the printed paper and fill out one form to complete the check-in. It was simple.

I was worried about the weather, and it poured rain during the river descent and after we got off, but it was fun in its own way. The banter with the boatman was enjoyable, and although it was said to last about an hour and forty minutes, it felt like no time at all. I would love to experience it in a different season as well.

事前予約だったので、印刷した紙を見せ用紙を１枚記入で受付終了。
簡単でした。
お天気が心配でしたが、川下りの途中と降りてからが土砂降りでしたが、それはそれで楽しかったです。
船頭さんの掛け合いも楽しくて、１時間４０分ほどといわれましたが、あっという間で、違った季節も行ってみたいと思えました。

Reviewed by: 勝とばしや

As a summer vacation memory, I invited a female acquaintance and her children to experience the Hozu River boat ride in Kyoto. The weather forecast at the time predicted rain, but it didn't rain much, and the water level was reportedly very good, about ten times a year. It was the first time for both the acquaintance and the children to go down the river, and they were very pleased with the boatman's calls, conversations, and the thrilling steering. They mentioned that they would like to come again if given the chance. They returned with smiles and were very satisfied. Thank you very much!

夏休みの思い出として、、知人の女性とその子どもたちの旅行として、京都保津川下りを考えて招待しました。
当時の天気予報は雨となってましたが、それほど雨も降って無くて、年に10回ほどのとても良い水位だったそうです。
知人の女性も子どもたちも、川下りは初めてだったそうで、船頭さんのかけ声や会話、それにスリル有る操縦に、知人の女性と子どもたちは大変喜んでました。
機会が有れば、また、来たいと言ってました。
笑顔で帰れて、大変満足してます。
ありがとうございました！

Feeling cool during Obon. お盆に涼を感じる

Reviewed by: スキーヤー

I participated with a friend. The boatman's talk was entertaining, and the reactions of the other guests made it even more enjoyable, so we had a great time for the full two hours.

I heard it was a day with low water levels, but my friend, who was sitting at the end of the second row, ended up with his pants completely soaked. (We laughed and agreed that it was a good idea to wear clothes that could get wet! It was even wetter than at Jurapa!)

At 4,100 yen, it's not exactly cheap for students, but I'm glad I experienced it! I would love to use this service again.

友人と2人で参加しました。船頭さんのトークが面白く、また同乗していた他のお客さんの反応が良かったこともあり、2時間目いっぱい楽しめました。
水量は少ない日とのことでしたが、2列目の端に座っていた友人はズボンがビジョビジョになっていました。(濡れてもいい服装にして大正解！ジュラパより濡れる！と笑い合いました)
4100円、学生からすると決して安くはないですが体験して良かったです！また利用させて頂きたいです。

Hozu River Boat Ride 保津川下り

Reviewed by: たけうまこ

Since I had made a reservation in advance on this site, I only needed to check in on the second floor of the boarding area. It's definitely smoother if you bring the printed reservation. The cost was 4,100 yen, and the boarding time varies depending on the river's flow, but this time it was about 1 hour and 40 minutes. I want to go again in the fall.

前もってこのサイトで予約していたので乗船場の2階で受付をするだけでした。必ず予約した印刷物を持って行った方がスムーズです。4100円のコスバもよく川の流れによって乗船時間が違いますか゛今回の乗船は1時間40分くらいでした。秋にもう一度行きたいです。

It was fun, but... 楽しかったですが…

Reviewed by: boh

I had a great time, but the seat I was in was right in the middle, making it difficult to hear the talks from both the guide in front and the one behind. Also, since the boat was full, sitting in a narrow seat for a long time was a bit tough on my back and bottom. However, the river ride itself was very enjoyable, so I would like to go again!

とても楽しかったのですが、座った席が丁度真ん中で前の船頭さんのトークと後ろの船頭さんのトークが一番聞こえにくい場所で楽しみきれませんでした…
また、満席での川下りだったので、長時間狭い席に座り続けるのは若干腰とお尻がキツかったです。
川下り自体はとても楽しかったのでまた行きたいと思います！

It exceeded my expectations!☆☆☆ 期待以上でした☆☆☆

Reviewed by: まゆペンママ

I participated in mid-August 2022. I traveled by train from Torokko Saga Station to Torokko Kameoka Station, and then immediately took a bus to the boarding area. At the boarding area, I exchanged the tickets I purchased through VELTOLA, and I thought I would have to wait about an hour until 2 PM, but on the day I participated, my name was called relatively quickly (in about 20 minutes) and I was able to board.

The interactions among the three boatmen were entertaining and educational, the scenery was beautiful, and we cheered at the occasional rapids, making the 1 hour and 40 minutes fly by! (I heard that on days with fast currents, it takes less than an hour!) I definitely want to participate again in a different season! (The autumn foliage period must be a spectacular sight!) My 3-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter really enjoyed the ever-changing scenery.

Since we were dropped off right in front of Togetsukyo Bridge, I think it's a great course to explore Arashiyama and then return to Kyoto City by the Arashiyama Electric Railway. Thank you to the boatmen for a wonderful time!

2022年8月中旬の参加でした。トロッコ嵯峨駅からトロッコ亀岡駅までトロッコで移動して、すぐに出ていたバスで乗船場に移動。乗船場の受付でVELTOLAで購入していたチケットを引き換えて、14時まで約1時間待つのかと思いきや、参加した日は割とすぐ(20分くらい)名前を呼ばれて乗船できました。
船頭さんたち3人の掛け合いも面白く、勉強になり、景色も良く、時々現れる急流に歓声をあげながらあっという間の1時間40分でした！(流れの早い日は1時間弱でついてしまうそうです！)季節を変えてまたぜひ参加したいです！(紅葉の時期もきっと絶景のはず！)3歳の息子も、6歳の娘もどんどん変わる景色をとても楽しんでいました。
渡月橋の目の前で降ろして頂けるので嵐山で観光して、嵐電で京都市内に戻るのが良いコースだと思いました。船頭さん方、楽しいひと時をありがとうございました！

I went on the Hozu River boat ride! 保津川下り行ってきました！

Reviewed by: あっちゃん

I took a ride on the trolley train and experienced the Hozu River boat ride! I went with my two sons, who are a university student and a high school student. The boatman was fun to talk to, and the river's current was stronger than I expected. My sons were able to enjoy nature and the scenery. It seems that the seating arrangement on the boat changes depending on the number of people, so I wanted to sit in the very front, but we ended up in the second row from the back, which was a bit disappointing. However, I understand that it was arranged that way for the balance of the boat.

トロッコ列車に乗って、保津川下り体験してきました！大学生、高校生の息子2人と私三人で行ってきました！船頭さんも楽しく話してくれて、川の流れも思っていたより勢いもあり息子たちも自然の経験ができ景色も楽しむことができました。船に乗る際に人数によって座る座席が変わるようなので、1番前に乗りたかったのですが三人は後ろから2列目となったことが残念でしたが、船のバランスを考えてそうなっているという事でした。。。

In summer, it's recommended to wear sports sandals as early in the morning as possible. 夏はなるべく朝早く、足元はスポーツサンダル推奨

Reviewed by: ninny

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 with four family members. 親子4人で乗りました。

Reviewed by: いくえ

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。

船上コンビニ体験も面白いです。

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.

This is a highly recommended activity. とてもおすすめのアクティブティーです。

Reviewed by: さだちゃん

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。

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

Reviewed by: マッシー

After enjoying the view of the Hozu River Gorge from the trolley train, we went on a boat ride down the Hozu River for about 2 hours, covering approximately 16 km from Kameoka to Arashiyama. Surrounded by greenery in June, the skillful teamwork of the three boatmen was a sight to behold. Their humorous storytelling provided a wealth of topics, including history, scenic points, unique rock formations, and tales of flora and fauna, making for a delightful experience.

トロッコ列車で保津川峡谷を眺めた後、亀岡から嵐山まで、約16kmの約2時間保津川下りに行きました。6月の緑の中、3人の船頭が息を合わせる職人技は必見で、ユーモア溢れる語りで歴史や絶景ポイントや奇岩や花鳥動物たちの話など話題も豊富で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was hot, and the water level was low, which took some time, but I was impressed by the boatman's earnest paddling and his efforts in engaging conversation!

暑くて水量が少なく時間もかかりましたが、船頭さんの一所懸命に漕がれてる姿とトークも頑張ってられるところが感激しました！

It was a very hot day, but I had a great time by the water. Unfortunately, due to the continued sunny weather, the water level was a bit low, which made it feel less wild, but the lush green summer valley was beautiful. I would love to see the autumn foliage and spring cherry blossoms next time. If you have the time, I definitely recommend experiencing it. The grilled squid sold by the boat at the end was also fantastic. Thank you to the boatmen for entertaining us for about two hours.

とても暑い日でしたが水辺で過ごせて楽しかったです。
晴天続きのため水量が少なめでワイルドさが少し足りないのが残念でしたが緑が濃い夏の渓谷がとてもきれいで次回は秋の紅葉、春の桜も見てみたいと思います。
時間があれば是非経験される事をおすすめします。
終盤に船が売りに来るイカ焼きも最高でした。
船頭さんたちも約2時間楽しませてくれてありがとうございました。

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。

Hozu River Boat Ride in Kameoka, Kyoto 京都亀岡保津川下り

Reviewed by: まーちゃん

I had made a reservation in advance, so I was able to board right away. It was a very hot day, but the boat had a roof, and the captain's narration was very enjoyable, making the two hours fly by. The boat was also equipped with a splash guard, so I didn't get wet at all. I definitely want to go again during the cherry blossom season in spring and the autumn foliage season.

事前に予約していたのですぐに乗船できました。
とっても暑い日でしたが船には屋根もあって船頭さんの語りもとても楽しく２時間あっという間でした。船に波除用のシートも完備されていて濡れることもなかっです。
次は春の桜、秋の紅葉の時期に是非行きたいと思います。
