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.

General info
What to know before visiting Kameoka
What to do in Kameoka
Kameoka is a compact getaway known for Cruises, Tours and Water activities, with each category shaping visitor rhythms through the year. Klook booking data shows Cruises lead in volume, followed by Tours and Water activities, so expect river and boat experiences plus guided day trips to dominate. Demand is quiet through much of the year but spikes in November and December, so plan around that rhythm. Decide whether you want lively festival-season energy or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you pick the right month for your trip.
When to visit Kameoka
November is the clear high point for visitors, with demand jumping sharply, while July is the quietest month of the year according to Klook booking data. Prices move only modestly across the year: the priciest month is July at MYR 170 typical, while the cheapest months cluster around March–May at MYR 154 typical — a roughly 10% gap between the two. When demand and prices align, November brings atmosphere but larger crowds; if you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March–May or the very quiet summer months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | MYR 158 |
| February | Quieter than usual | MYR 158 |
| March | Quieter than usual | MYR 154 |
| April | Busier than usual | MYR 154 |
| May | Busier than usual | MYR 154 |
| June | About average | MYR 158 |
| July | Very quiet | MYR 170 |
| August | Very quiet | MYR 170 |
| September | Very quiet | MYR 166 |
| October | Quieter than usual | MYR 162 |
| November | Peak demand | MYR 158 |
| December | Peak demand | MYR 162 |
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 Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia lock in activities about two weeks ahead, while the earliest planners book around three and a half weeks out, according to Klook booking data. That makes Kameoka friendly to flexible trip plans, though in November and December booking earlier pays as demand peaks. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure popular Cruises and Tours in advance if you travel in the peak months. Booking a week or two ahead usually works well, and checking Klook early gives you more choice for dates and operators.
