Other Reminders
- The actual boarding time for the Hozugawa River Boat Ride will be uniformly arranged by on-site staff based on the conditions of the day. If there are many people during peak season, we may issue single boat tickets to you instead. In that case, please queue up for the boat in order by yourself. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
- Seats on the Sagano Romantic Train cannot be specified. Due to the narrow aisles of the Sagano Romantic Train, passengers using wheelchairs should make a note when registering.
- The Hozugawa River Boat Ride experience may be suspended on the day due to weather or other factors. If the boat ride is suspended, the rest of the day's itinerary will proceed as scheduled.

If suspended, boat ticket fees will be refunded as follows: Adults: 4,000 JPY/person, Children: 3,000 JPY/person. Please contact the registration platform for a system refund. In such cases, you will take the JR train back to "JR Saga-Arashiyama Station," and related expenses will be at your own cost.

If suspended, the Kyoto horse carriage fee will be refunded: 1,500 JPY per person. Please contact the platform you used for registration to process the refund. In such cases, public transportation will be used to travel to the Hozugawa River boarding point, and related transportation costs will be at your own expense.

Very thankful for EasyGo guides to plan this full itinerary from pickup at osaka to lisasing with another guide to bring us through Sagano train ride-horse carriage ride-river cruise. Guide HuaHua and Suke are both very friendly and explain things simply on where to meet and where to explore. Will definitely come back on this tour during autumn one day!

Lai was a very enthusiastic guide, provided detailed explanations, and even gave us relevant tourist information after we arrived in Arashiyama. Thank you very much! The entire journey by train, horse-drawn carriage, and raft was wonderful and interesting, a rare experience! 👍

Great 4.0
The boat tour actually felt a bit too long, mainly due to the rapids. The river current isn't very fast, and you only really feel the excitement when hitting the rapids. There are no meals served along the way—only a boat vendor selling small snacks once you reach the lower part of Arashiyama—so the value for money is somewhat lacking. Those who speak Japanese or English can interact with the boatmen.

Ba is a very good tour guide. Due to the unexpected cancellation of all romance trains at Saga-Arashiyama station, we were not able to take romance train for our tour. Ba advised us to apply for a refund for 3 romance train tickets. Please see the upload photo showing the cancellation of all romance trains.

The weather that day was excellent, clear and bright. Coupled with our guide Suka's professional explanations, the entire trip went very smoothly. Although it was only a short half-day, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A special mention: our group included Japanese, European, and Chinese travelers, and Suka explained everything in Japanese, English, and Chinese each time. He maintained his friendly smile and professional demeanor throughout! We hope to see you again next time!

The Hozugawa river boat ride was an absolute highlight of our trip! Gliding through stunning scenery, the experience was made unforgettable by the incredible boatmen. They weren’t just skilled at steering us safely through rapids and rocks — they kept us laughing the whole way with their sharp wit, playful banter, and endless energy. Their mix of humor, storytelling, and expert maneuvering turned a beautiful river journey into pure joy. An exhilarating ride with scenery to match, but it’s the rowers who make it truly special.

Lai, the tour guide, is very enthusiastic, provides detailed explanations and related history, and offers information about Arashiyama and Kyoto. The arrangements for the Sagano Scenic Railway, the horse-drawn carriage, and the Hozugawa River boat tour are appropriate.
