What to expect

Hozu River rafting is one of the more popular rafting in Kyoto. Bozu River is located between Kyoto Kameoka City and Kyoto Arashiyama Togetsu Bridge. It is a famous scenic tourist destination for the Arashiyama Train (Sagano Scenic Railway). Huge rocks, boulders and rapids can be seen everywhere in Baojin Gorge. There are many changes in direction along the way along the valley. From the air, you can see several large bends in the shape of the Chinese character "Ji". Tourists can choose to take a rubber boat near JR Kameoka Station for a rafting session. Wonders such as Wu Hat Rock and Lion Rock follow one after another. Keep meeting, and you can also meet the Arashiyama train passing by halfway up the mountain. It may be that the turbulent upstream makes you so thrilling that you have no time to take into account the overall beauty. When you reach the downstream, you will suddenly become enlightened. At this time, you can see the ancient buildings on the cliffs on both sides of the river, spring cherry and autumn maple, each with its own beauty, and sometimes you can see it The water vapor pervades the fairy-like scene. The destination for rafting on the Baojin River is near the Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. After disembarking, you change into a professional equipment, visit the small shops in the Arashiyama area, and eat a Kyoto-style Japanese meal. It is a good experience.
