The Experience
Sagano Romantic Train Relax on a scenic 25-minute, 7.3 km journey through Kyoto’s stunning nature. This charming train ride offers front-row seats to the beautiful, shifting colors of the seasons.
Hozugawakudari River Boat Ride Feel the thrill of drifting through the spectacular Hozu River valley between Kameoka and Arashiyama. It’s an unforgettable way to immerse yourself in Kyoto’s gorgeous landscapes.
In the event that the Hozugawa River Boat Ride is canceled due to high water levels or inclement weather, the itinerary will change: we will visit the iconic Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion) instead, and the tour will conclude at Kyoto Station. In this case, a 5,000 yen refund will be provided. (If the boat ride operates as planned, the tour will end at Arashiyama.)
Year-Round Beauty Depending on the season, you can marvel at magnificent cherry blossoms in spring or brilliant foliage in autumn. No matter when you visit, the lush greenery, stunning river views, and fresh air promise a refreshing and beautiful escape.
