Good to know
Please arrive at the designated meeting location on time, as listed on your itinerary, to meet and check in with your Easy Go tour guide. The operator's staff will not proactively contact you in advance, so please be aware.
Small Train/Boat Precautions
- If small train tickets cannot be provided, a refund of JPY 880 per person will be issued through the platform.
- Guests who choose a plan that does not include the Hozugawa River boat ride experience can also purchase tickets on-site on the day of the tour, but please note that boarding may not be possible due to weather or other factors (e.g., the number of people has reached the upper limit).
- The Hozugawa River boat ride experience may be suspended due to weather or other factors. The rest of the itinerary will proceed as usual on the day of the tour. In the event of suspension, the boat ticket fee will be partially refunded by the platform after the tour ends (not the facility's official price), so please understand.
- If you choose not to participate in the Hozugawa River boat ride experience, you will need to wait until the passengers participating in the boat ride have finished boarding before the bus will head to Arashiyama together.
- Seats on the Sagano Scenic Railway cannot be reserved.
Clothing and Belongings
- Each guest can bring one suitcase (maximum size). Luggage may need to be checked into the luggage compartment, or it can be brought into the seat. Please keep valuables with you, as the operator will not be responsible for any loss.
- Temperatures may vary due to seasonal and weather changes, so please prepare for cold or hot weather yourself.
Important Notes
