We booked 2 rooms wanteI This was the closest hotel to the Hozugawa River boat ride. It was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. There is a peaceful onsen on site, but you must cover your tattoos. You can purchase tattoo covers at the desk . Be aware that they really stick and it takes a lot of time to remove the stickers. The day of our boat ride, we checked out of the hotel, & we asked if they could watch our bags at the desk while we did the boat ride. They gave us a chip to come back that same day to retrieve our bags for free . After our boat ride we took the train back to the hotel to retrieve our bags. The staff was professional and kind. The only comment that I’d give a head up on is that the beds are small. I had to get 2 rooms for my family of 4 and we all had to share beds. My family is not very big and we were fine and slept really well. But if you were a larger person, sharing a bed, it might be kind of snug. I would still rebook at this hotel in a heartbeat. 10/10

The fee was a bit expensive, but the entire trip was worth the money. Our guide, Lily, was very lovely and took good care of us. Both the train ride and boat ride were very fun, and despite the leaves not quite turning red yet, the green trees and mountains were gorgeous. The boatmen were also great conversationalists.

Tomo was an amazing host, very friendly and informative. He took great care of all of us even with such a large group. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the beauty Kyoto has to offer.

Our family of 3, including 12 year old, were very happy with the tour. Hua Hua was very attentive and made sure the group was settled in whenever we changed mode of transportation (mini bus - train - mini bus - boat). We were lucky to have met Hua Hua as he is very knowledgeable.

Train: The vintage little train offers gorgeous views outside the window! The creaky carriages and wooden seats make you feel like you've stepped back into the last century.
Itinerary: The train, horse-drawn carriage, and boat rides were all a lot of fun, but the boat was definitely the highlight. The two hours were full of laughter and joy. The boatman worked so hard, seamlessly combining manual rowing, performances, stand-up comedy, and sightseeing commentary throughout the entire trip. Totally worth it!
Tour Guide: Our guide, Yu Qihang, was amazing! The itinerary was well-organized, and she switched effortlessly between Chinese, English, and Japanese! She also thoughtfully recommended quite a few great hiking spots~

this was possibly the best part of the trip. a little thrill ride. lots of nature. excellent guides who were as funny as the jungle river cruise. it was delightful and I would go back every season to see the changes in the nature and hear the stories of the boatmen. exceptional trip

Bamboo forest was really pretty, albeit the crowd can make it hard to take photos. The romantic train seemed kinda meh actually, didn’t really enjoy it. However, the hozugawa boat ride was the best attraction of this day tour; you’ll constantly be surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. The boatmen were really entertaining and professional as well.

Kameoka at a glance
Quick facts about Kameoka
General info
What to know before visiting Kameoka
What to do in Kameoka year-round
Kameoka is best known for river cruises, guided tours and water activities, with cruises leading bookings followed by tours and river-based experiences. Klook booking data shows demand rises and falls through the year: activity picks up into April and May and again in November, while late summer is much quieter. If you plan around that rhythm you can choose lively festival-like atmospheres in the spring and autumn or calmer riverside days in quieter months. Decide whether you prefer festival crowds or relaxed riverside calm. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit and price patterns
Demand peaks in April (and stays high into May) and again in November, while August is the quietest month—Klook booking data shows April with a 58% rise over a typical month and August about 62% below. Prices over the last 12 months drifted down from a high in July–October to a low in June, so crowd size and price don’t always move together: July is among the priciest months even though demand then is only quieter than peak. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for June or the very quiet August; for peak-season atmosphere pick April, May or November.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | HKD - |
| February | Very quiet | HKD 304 |
| March | Quieter than usual | HKD 296 |
| April | Peak demand | HKD 296 |
| May | Peak demand | HKD 296 |
| June | Busier than usual | HKD 289 |
| July | Quieter than usual | HKD 320 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 320 |
| September | About average | HKD 320 |
| October | About average | HKD 320 |
| November | Peak demand | HKD 304 |
| December | Busier than usual | HKD 312 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Travellers from Hong Kong typically lock things in around 18 days ahead, and the earliest planners book up to 33 days out, according to Klook booking data for platform-wide bookings. That means you can often stay flexible and book a day or two before travel, but in April, May and November—Kameoka’s busiest months—book earlier to secure river cruises and guided tours. Klook’s platform also shows last-minute availability in many categories about 6 days before departure, so if plans change you still have options. Book on Klook to compare schedules and secure the experiences you want.
