The guide spoke mostly in Chinese and only mentioned the meeting time and place in Japanese. I was looking forward to explanations in English, but there were none, which was disappointing. The driving of the microbus was rough and scary. I felt that the tour price was high, especially since the entrance fee and meal costs were not included.
ガイドは、ずっと中国語を話し、日本語では集合時間と集合場所を言うぐらいでした。英語ての説明を楽しみにしたのに、それは一切なく、残念でした。
マイクロバスの運転も荒つぼく、怖かったです。
拝観料、食事代も含まれず、ツアー代は高いと感じました。

I had the opportunity to experience the Hozu River boat ride again after a long time. This time, I participated with my wife and our two children. A week before our experience, due to the slow-moving typhoon, the dam released water, resulting in lower water levels and a gentler current than usual on the day of our ride. Despite that, the children were extremely excited. Since it was still quite hot with lingering summer heat, the sun was intense, and towards the end, our younger child got a bit tired from the heat. However, they expressed a desire to ride again, so I would like to experience it once more during the autumn foliage season.
久しぶりに保津川下りを体験させて頂きました。
今回は妻と子供2人との参加でした。
体験1週間前にノロノロ台風の影響でダムの水を放流してしまい、当日は水位がいつもより低く、水流もそんなに激しくもなく穏やかな乗船となりました。
子供たちはそれでも大興奮でした。
まだまだ残暑残る中での乗船だったので、日差しがきつく最後のほうは下の子供が少し暑さでバテテしまいましたが、また乗船したいと言っているので、今度は紅葉の時期に再度体験させて頂きたいと思います。

I toured with a friend from overseas. My friend requested a less touristy place, so we went to local Kyoto, but we weren't sure where to go... Thanks to Ichirou, who was in charge! He handled our last-minute requests for lunch and sightseeing spots with great care and made it a fun experience. He took us to hidden gems that we would never have found on our own, and we were truly moved! Our lack of knowledge and English conversation skills were no problem, and we had a satisfying day thanks to Ichirou. At the end, Ichirou left with a smile! I'm sorry I couldn't properly thank him. Our family deeply appreciates Ichirou's hospitality. We will definitely repeat the lunch spot as a family! Thank you very much.

Currently, the river has little water, so it wasn't an exhilarating river descent, but the boatman's storytelling was great. I've heard that in October, the scenery will be wonderful with the autumn leaves.

The journey from Kameoka to Arashiyama took just under two hours, and I was able to enjoy it very leisurely. On the day I participated, the water level and flow were low, and I was impressed by the boatmen who kept us entertained while paddling under the blazing sun. There were many foreign tourists, and there were explanations in English, but I found myself laughing at the dad jokes that foreigners probably wouldn't understand. I learned that in the past, agricultural products and rice were transported to the capital in this way, and I can only imagine the hard work that went into it. It was deeply moving to think that I was part of this ongoing tradition while riding on that boat. Thank you very much.
亀岡から嵐山まで2時間弱の旅、とてもゆっくり過ごせました。参加した日は水量や流れが少なく、炎天下で漕ぎ続けて盛り上げてくれた船頭さん達には脱帽です。外国人旅行客が多く英語を交えた案内もありましたが、外国人にはわからないであろうおやじギャグにツボりました。昔はこのように農産物やお米が都へ運ばれたとのこと、大変なご苦労だったと思います。今も続く伝統と、その船に乗っているんだなと思うと感慨深いものがありました。ありがとうございました。

On June 26, 2024, I took a boat ride down the Hozu River. It was the rainy season, and the previous day had been canceled, but today we were blessed with wonderfully refreshing weather that was neither too hot nor humid. From the moment I boarded, I was filled with excitement. The veteran boatman, perhaps? He skillfully guided us while facing backward and entertained the foreign guests in English. I had a great time and definitely want to go again. The boatman's biceps were impressive!

On a Friday morning just before the rainy season, with low water levels, I participated in this activity. It was relaxing, with occasional swift currents. The sky was blue, and I could feel the wind. I saw herons, ducks, turtles, and soft-shelled turtles, making it a pleasant experience. The boatmen worked hard, rowing with great effort, and they were also good at storytelling. When the water level is low, moving stones from the riverbed is part of their job.
They also let us experience rowing from the bow, which was very enjoyable. This traditional activity, which has been continued for over 400 years, is a part of the culture. I felt that it is something one should experience while living in Japan.
水量の少ない、梅雨直前の平日金曜日の朝、参加。ゆったりと、そしてたまに急な流れのところあり、空は青く、風が感じられ、サギ、鴨、亀、スッポンなど見られ、気持ちの良いアクティビティでした。船頭さんは3人ですごく頑張って漕いでくれて、お話も上手、水かさが少ないと川底の石をどかすことも仕事の内だとか。
舳先で漕ぐ体験もさせてくれてとても楽しかったです。400年も前から続く伝統のアクティビティは文化です。日本に住み、経験しておくべき、と思いました

On May 4th, my family of seven participated from Ishikawa. I was a bit anxious since I signed us up on my own, but to cut to the chase, we had an absolutely fantastic time, and everyone in the family said they enjoyed it too! We were blessed with great weather and beautiful scenery, but what stood out the most were the three wonderful boatmen who made the experience enjoyable with their fun conversations, keeping us laughing the whole time.
The river had several rapids, and we got splashed quite a bit, which was incredibly fun! My children and I were seated at the ends, so we got pretty soaked, while the family members sitting in the middle stayed dry. If you don't want to get wet, I recommend not sitting at the ends.
The hour and a half of river rafting flew by because we were having so much fun. Thank you so much for being considerate of both the kids and the parents in various situations! Also, I want to express my gratitude to the staff member who prepared motion sickness medication for my youngest child, who started worrying about getting seasick before boarding. Everyone was so kind, and we had the best time!
5月4日に石川県より家族7人で参加させて頂きました。
私の独断でお申し込みをしたので、家族皆がどう思うか内心不安でしたが、結論から言うとすっっごく楽しかったですし、家族皆も楽しかった~!!と言っていました!
お天気にも恵まれ景色も綺麗でしたが、何より船頭さん御三方が素敵な方々でトークも楽しくて終始爆笑していました。
川下りは何カ所か急流があり、派手に水しぶきがかかってびしょ濡れになってめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!!
私と子ども達は両端に座っていたのでかなり濡れましたが、真ん中に座っていた家族は濡れなかったので、濡れるのが嫌な方は両端には座らない方が良いかと思われます。
楽しすぎて1時間半の川下り、あっという間でした。
子ども達にも両親にも色んな場面で気配りをして下さって、本当にありがとうございました!!
そして、乗船前に船酔いの心配をし始めた一番下の子に、酔い止めを用意して下さったスタッフの方、本当にありがとうございました!!

The tour guide was lovely. She didn’t speak much English but she had a book of phrases she needed to tell us written out so we knew what was going on. The bus ride had an English audio guide which was generally interesting. The train was beautiful, and the scenery was amazing. The boat trip was unfortunately cancelled due to the heavy rain the day before, so we had a long coach journey instead. The bamboo forest was incredible but very busy so if you want quiet maybe go by yourself instead of on a tour. we had three hours at Arashyama which was actually perfect, if we’d had a boat trip too it would have only been an hour which would have been too short!
