Kyoto Arashiyama Private Yakatabune: Elegant Boat Ride to Enjoy Seasonal Scenery

A beautiful autumn day floating the Katsura River

Reviewed by: Nippon Navigators

We made reservations a few months in advance and checking in for our private boat was easy. We had the entire boat to ourselves and we brought some snacks and rinks to enjoy as we floated along. Our boatman kept the boat going smoothly and guided us along but one thing is he really didn’t point out anything not told us about some of the area and sights we were seeing. Luckily several of us are local and knew what things where so we had to point them out to the rest and explain things. We were disappointed that the floating snack/ drink boat never came up along side to offer more drinks or other items as we were hoping to enjoy some warm sake and other treats that wood have made the boat ride a bit more fun.

プライベート屋形船のボートライド Private Yakatabune boat ride

Reviewed by: Aly

素晴らしい体験でした。ガイドはとても親切で魅力的でした。周囲について多くの情報を提供してくれ、静かな川の一角で私たちのグループ写真を撮ることも提案してくれました。彼はとても面白く、ボートの操縦が非常に上手でした。これは京都での最高の体験の一つで、非常におすすめです。

Wonderful experience, our guide was very kind and engaging. He gave us a lot of information about the surroundings, and even stopped in a quiet section of the river and offered to take our group picture. He was very funny, and extremely skilled at navigating the boat. This was one of our best experiences in Kyoto, highly recommend.

After all, Kyoto has maiko (apprentice geisha). ヤッパリ京都は舞妓さん

Reviewed by: たぬき

I have visited Kyoto many times, but this time my wish came true, and I was able to spend a wonderful time up close with a maiko. Unlike in the past, I honestly felt that the streets of Kyoto have become overly commercialized, which is quite disappointing, but I was able to fully enjoy the essence of Kyoto.

度々、訪れてた京都、、でも舞妓さんに会うことも無く今回は願い叶って、間近に舞妓さんと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
昔と違って京都の街並みは正直、観光化されて残念な事が多いなぁと思っていたので
京都らしさを堪能出来ました。

There are many options for foreigners, but I highly recommend that Japanese people also experience this rare Japanese-language tour; it’s a lot of fun!

As expected, a professional skill. さすが、プロの技

Reviewed by: とよ

It was a bit cold, but I was lent a blanket, which made it comfortable. There were many rowboats around, but true to their professional skills, they navigated safely with just a long pole. I also got to hear stories that touched on history, and the autumn leaves 🍁 were wonderful; the hour flew by. Arashiyama was very crowded, and I struggled to find parking, which made me late, but since it was a private tour, they kindly waited until everyone arrived. I really appreciated their warm hospitality. I would love to do this activity again. Highly recommended!

少し寒かったですが、ブランケットを貸して頂き、快適でした。周りに手漕ぎボートがいっぱいでしたが、さすがプロの技、長い棒1本で安全な航行でした。歴史にも触れたお話も聞けて、紅葉🍁も素晴らしく、あっという間の1時間でした。嵐山は、とても混んでいて、駐車場探しに手こずって遅れてしまいましたが、貸切だからということもあり、全員揃うまで待ってくださりました。とても暖かい対応も感謝でした。また、お願いしたいアクティビティです。
おすすめです。

A fun time with Maiko. 舞子さんとの楽しい時間

Reviewed by: ゆみゆみ

Since it's quite difficult to meet a maiko even when visiting Kyoto, we decided to participate in an event to meet one ourselves. While enjoying a meal at a traditional Kyoto restaurant, we had the pleasure of watching the maiko's tea ceremony performance, participating in a Q&A session, taking commemorative photos together, enjoying the dance, and experiencing traditional games. We had a wonderful time. I especially enjoyed watching my husband participate in the traditional game "Konpira Funefune." The maiko was beautiful as well.

なかなか京都に行っても舞子さんに会えないので自分達で会いに行こうと言う事で参加して来ました。
京都老舗料亭の食事を食べながら、舞子さんのお点前鑑賞や質問コーナー、一緒に記念撮影、舞鑑賞そしてお座敷遊びなど楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました。
特にお座敷遊びの「こんぴらふねふね」は夫が参加して見ているこちらも楽しかったです。

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Lulu

Kyoto Arashiyama Private Yakatabune offers a serene and elegant 1-hour boat ride through Arashiyama’s breathtaking seasonal scenery — perfect for groups of four. The experience is made even better by the wonderful guide, who is not only accommodating but also helps capture amazing photos throughout the trip. Communication can be a bit challenging since the guide mainly speaks Japanese, so downloading Google Translate is highly recommended for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Went with my family, since we came the service was very efficient, no waiting line and it was a private reservation so we had the boat by ourselves.

The view is beautiful, the food was really good and had a lot of variety of Japanese food, the presentation of everything was really well thought!

There is also a convenience boat, which selled drinks, grilled squid and dango. It was very nice! 1 hour of boat trip but it was totally worth it.

Recently, despite the sudden heavy rain, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed a private experience without the scorching heat. The boatman explained everything well and was friendly, allowing us to relax for an hour. With a roof overhead, we could enjoy the shade while fanning ourselves in a pleasant atmosphere. After dealing with a lot of unpleasant things lately, I was able to spend time peacefully. Additionally, there were other boats around, and it seemed like everyone was unsure of their direction and might collide, but the boatman helped us escape slowly. Thank you very much.

The best boat trip to fully enjoy the great nature of Arashiyama. 嵐山の大自然を満喫できる最高の船旅

Reviewed by: KENTA

At first, I thought, "Isn't one hour a bit long?" and "The price is a bit high (15,000 yen for a private boat for two for one hour)," but now I think, "I'm glad I made the reservation!" Since it was a private boat for two and the first time slot (9 AM), there were hardly any other tourists on board, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the scenery of Arashiyama! The boatman was very kind, often asking, "Shall I take your picture?" and sharing local stories. I really appreciated his kindness! Next time, I want to enjoy Arashiyama in the different seasons of spring, autumn, and winter!

最初は「一時間長くね？」「値段ちょっと高いなぁ（二人貸切一時間合計15000円）」と思いながら予約しましたが、今は「予約しててよかった」と思っています！
二人の貸切しかも一番目の時間帯（九時）のため、他に乗船する観光客もほぼいませんし、ゆっくりと嵐山の風景を堪能することができました！船頭さんも何回も「写真撮ってあげましょうか」って話しかけてくれたり、地元の話を紹介してくれたりして、すごく優しい人です！
今度はまた春、秋、冬の違う季節の嵐山を楽しみたいと思います！

Recently, I found an interesting experience plan at a belt shop that I've been using frequently, so I signed up and participated on short notice.

We started with a tea ceremony demonstration, followed by a Q&A session, and then a two-shot photo opportunity. After that, those on the short course exited, and we moved on to dancing and traditional parlor games. Since there happened to be a small number of participants, we were able to enjoy the parlor games at a leisurely pace.

最近、ちょくちょく利用しているベルトらで面白い体験プランを見つけたので急でしたが申し込んで参加しました。

お点前、質疑応答、2ショット撮影と続き、ショートコースの方は退場し、その後、踊り、お座敷遊びになりました。
