The Hozugawa River Boat Ride is the best river cruise in Japan in terms of both history and distance! This 16-kilometer route connects "Kameoka" in the Tanba region with Kyoto's famous "Arashiyama." a well-known Kyoto area.

Enjoy a thrilling 16-kilometer boat ride that will guide you through 400 years of history and magnificent nature.

Take a luxurious boat ride on the Hozugawa River, where the four seasons of Japan reflect on the clear surface of the water.

You can see cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green leaves in summer, bright maple trees in fall, and snowy landscapes in winter. Why don't you leave your daily routine behind and let yourself drift away on the river?
