I had a wonderful hour relaxing on a houseboat in Arashiyama! The floating convenience store was very appealing. There were so many tempting options like oden, grilled squid, and mitarashi dango!
嵐山の屋形船でのんびり楽しめた1時間 最高でした!水上コンビニの販売がとても魅力的です。おでん・イカ焼き・みたらし団子など、そそられるものが一杯!
予約は早い方が良いと思います。

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。
It's also recommended to bring a warm drink with you. Arashiyama can get very crowded, and finding parking was quite difficult, so it's best to head there with plenty of time to spare.
暖かい飲み物を持参して乗るのもおすすめです。嵐山は、とても混んでいて、駐車場探しも大変でしたので、時間に余裕を持って向かったほうがよいです。

Value for money. Easy to find start location outside Kyoto train station.
Very welcoming with checks of passengers so we don't get left behind.
Great communication in different languages with earphones.
Train ride with great views nice to get out the big cities. Boat ride great. Rickshaw added extra but discount vouchers given. Brilliant staff. A trip for everyone, people with walking difficulties may find the boat ride difficult but speak to staff as the opportunity to stay on the coach.
None, nothing you can do about a bit of cold weather.

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.

We decided to take a ride on the trolley to go down the Hozu River, and while researching, we found a set deal with unlimited rides on Hankyu. Since Arashiyama was too crowded, we took the Hankyu to a place near Kawaramachi for lunch. As a result, we were able to eat in a more relaxed atmosphere, which was great. The view from the trolley was also satisfying, even though the weather was unfortunate. I deducted one star because the QR code didn't scan properly. There were times when it was difficult to connect, which was quite a hassle.

It took about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Kameoka to Arashiyama. The travel time seems to vary depending on the water level; it can take as little as 1 hour or up to 2 hours at the longest. On the day I participated, the water level wasn't very high, so it was a calm boat trip while enjoying the scenery.
There were moments when the river narrowed or had significant drops, but that was also quite pleasant. For those seeking thrills, I think rafting would be a better option.
There were three boatmen who took turns rowing, as it is physically demanding work. It was very impressive to see them earnestly guiding the guests in English, especially since most of the customers were foreigners. Their efforts to entertain the guests, often with laughter, were evident.
Along the way, you can see rare wild birds and a trolley train, and you can leisurely enjoy the picturesque mountains and rivers that resemble Japan's original landscapes. However, I wouldn't recommend participating in the height of summer or winter (I heard that a roof is put up in the summer). Depending on the travel time, some people might get a bit bored, and I experienced a little seasickness.
I recommend this for those who love vehicles or want to experience something out of the ordinary. If you decide to participate, I think it's best to bring minimal luggage.
亀岡から嵐山まで1時間40分ほどかかりました。水の量によって所用時間が変わるようで、早ければ1時間遅くて2時間かかることもあるとのことでした。
私が参加した日は水が多くなかったようで、景色を眺めながら穏やかな船旅でした。
時折川幅が狭くなったり落差が大きいポイントがありましたが、それもまた心地よかったです。
スリルを求める人はラフティングの方が良いと思います。
船頭さんは3人で、力仕事なので交代しながら船を漕いでくれます。
お客さんのほとんどが外国人という中で英語で一生懸命案内している姿がとても印象的で、時折笑いも交えながらお客さんを楽しませようという気持ちが伝わってきました。
道中は珍しい野鳥やトロッコ列車が見えたり、日本の原風景のような山と川の景色をのんびりと楽しむことができます。ただ真夏や真冬の参加はおすすめしません。(真夏は屋根が出るとのこと)
所用時間によっては少し飽きてしまう人もいそうなのと、私は少しだけ船酔いしました。
乗り物が好きな方や非日常を味わいたい方におすすめです。
参加される際は荷物少なめが良いと思います。

I was looking forward to the Hozu River boat ride. I had a reservation for the 10 AM departure, but since I arrived early at the boarding area, I was able to change to the 9 AM departure. To my surprise, the boat had Makita fans installed at the front and back! I heard that the boatman had personally set them up as a trial. With temperatures exceeding 38°C in Kyoto, having fans made a huge difference, even at 9 AM! We were able to enjoy the nearly two-hour river ride comfortably. Besides the two of us, everyone else on the boat was from overseas, and the boatmen explained various things in easy-to-understand English with a touch of humor. It was enjoyable to listen to them. The boat's convenience store was also operating, and I was able to indulge in the oden I wanted to try. On that day, there hadn't been much rain for a long time, so the water level in the river was quite low, and the boatmen had to rely on their own strength for the ride. Thank you very much for the experience in the extreme heat.
楽しみにしていた保津川下り。10時出発の予約でしたが乗船場に早めに到着したので9時の出発に変更していただきました。乗った船にはなんと前と後ろにマキタのファンが設置してありました!聞けば船頭さんが試験的に個人の物を設置してくださったとか。最高気温38℃超えの京都で朝9時とはいえ送風機があるとないとでは大違い!2時間弱の川下りを快適に過ごすことができました。私たち2人以外は全員海外の方たちで、船頭さんたちがユーモアを交えたわかりやすい英語でいろいろ説明をされてました。それを聞いているのも楽しかったです。船のコンビニも健在で、食べたかったおでんも満喫できました。当日は長期間 雨が降っていなかったので川の水量がかなり少なく、船頭さんたちの人力頼みの川下りとなりました。猛暑のなか本当にありがとうございました。
If you're going in the summer, I recommend departing at 9 AM. As the sun rises higher, the large rocks on both sides of the river heat up, and the reflected heat makes it increasingly hotter.

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!

On June 26, I participated in the English tour with three others. "Thank you, Nick. It was fun."
Overall, it was good. Here are some points of concern:
1) We gathered more than 30 minutes early for the 9:00 AM departure from the Kyoto VIP Lounge (check-in ended 10 minutes prior), but the bus actually arrived and started at 9:30 AM.
2) I wanted more time at Nara Park. Playing with the deer was the main reason for participating, but we had no time at all after visiting Todai-ji.
3) The tours from Osaka and Kyoto should be separated. The driver was too concerned about their working hours, which made it difficult for the guide. If there wasn't a 1 to 2-hour round trip from Osaka, the tour could have been more relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy it more leisurely (especially for foreign tours). This way, we could allocate an additional 30 minutes at each point.
6/26 英語ツアーに4名で参加の村中。「Nickさん、ありがとう。楽しかったです。」
全体的には良かった。気になる点だけ箇条書きで。
1)京都VIPラウンジ9時出発⁽10分前受付で終了)ということで30分以上前に集合したが、実際BUSが来てスタートしたのが09:30だった。
2)奈良公園でもっと時間が欲しかった。鹿と遊べるのを参加の最大の理由だったが、東大寺に行ったら全く時間がなかった。
3)大阪発着と京都発着を分けるべき。ドライバーの勤務時間を気にし過ぎて、その調整でガイドが気の毒。大阪の往復1時間~2時間の移動距離がなければ、ツアーにもっと余裕が出来てお客もゆっくり楽しめるはず。(特に外国人ツアーは)
そうすると各ポイントで+30分は時間を取れるはず。
If I participate next, I would choose a tour in Kyoto from 9 AM to around 2 PM. If there is a half-day tour just for Nara Park, I would join that one. It would be nice to have something like a shuttle
私が次に参加するなら、京都だけのツアー9時~14時頃を選択。奈良公園だけの半日ツアーがあればそちらに参加。フルアテンドのツアーでなくて各名所を乗り降りできるシャトルバス的なものがあるといい。

I visited three places, and two hours flew by. I wish I had a bit more time to explore the Arashiyama and Kiyomizu-dera areas. The meeting point was easy to find, and the driver was kind, making for a comfortable sightseeing experience.
3箇所にいくので、2時間があっと言う間でした。嵐山と清水寺界隈の散策時間がもう少しほしいです。
待ち合わせ場所はわかりやすくて、ドライバーさんも優しかったので快適な観光でした。

It was better than I expected. Although we were delayed due to traffic on unfamiliar roads, thanks to various considerations, my whole family was able to enjoy it very much.
Thank you.
予想以上に良かったです。
慣れない道での渋滞により開始時刻が予定より遅れてしまいましたが様々な配慮のお陰で、家族全員とても楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。
Morning reservations are excellent.
午前中の早い時間の予約が◎です。
Thank you for boarding. As we proceed upstream with just a bamboo pole, I hope you were able to enjoy a relaxing time on the chartered houseboat. We look forward to your next visit.

I think it's better to make a reservation early.
