Hozugawa River Boat Ride

We booked the earliest boat ride at the Hozugawa River. After we left the bamboo forest, we took the train for a rapid river boat ride. The boat ride starts at the upper area of the river and it will take us back to Arashiyama again.

We took a couple times of rapid river ride in Canada before, but this one is way more gentle than the ones in Canada. We were lucky that it is right at the cherry blossoms season and it makes the scenery even more beautiful.

Symeon loves to see the wildlife along the river and the weather is perfect for us today (not too hot, not too cold).

At the end of the boat ride, when we arrived a more calm area, there was a boat driving to us and sold us some food. Symeon ordered some chips and I ordered some Japanese oden food and a bbq squid. They were delicious!

After we parked at the bank of river at Arashiyama, it was time to get off our boat. We said goodbye and continue our journey!Read more
