Osaka Sagano Romantic Train and Hozugawa River Cruise Day Tour

I was not able to attend the tour after a fall, so Hubby went alone for this day trip to Arashiyama with Yu Jin on 14 Apr. His feedback as follows: “It was a very good trip. Need to thank Yu Jin for the entire trip. First he was very informative on the romantic train. In the bus, he informed us that we need not be worried about the view regardless of where you sit. This was very good as I do not need to move to different sides of the train to take pictures and video. Next he provided us with sufficient guidance on where to go on Arashiyama from bamboo grove to Tenryu-ji to the Monkey park. With the guide, I know where to go. This was because I always thought of only the bamboo grove in Arashiyama. Finally Yu Jin also provided info on the Japan culture. This was real educational. Overall thank you Yu Jin. Really enjoyed myself.”

This was by far the best Klook tour I’ve ever been on! My husband and I absolutely loved our guide, Mr. Joe. He was incredibly kind and provided clear, detailed information about the itinerary, meeting point, and drop-off location. We especially appreciated how he shared interesting history about Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara along the way. His English was very clear, which made communication easy and enjoyable. We were also lucky enough to ride Cabin No. 5 on the Sagano Romantic Train, and we didn’t miss out on the Hozugawa River boat rafting experience either. It was truly a memorable day! Okani Mr Joe! Hope we meet again!

supermooie boottocht en treinrit. alles was heel goed georganiseerd en was duidelijk. onze gids Hua Hua was zeer goed en heel grappig, kan ook goed zingen!

非常愉快的一次體驗＇導遊很專業，中英指示清晰不會有混亂情況出現，小火車沿路風光很美，遊船景色宜人＇船夫風趣幽默，令遊客更投入活動，渡月穚很多特色小店和美食，來回有旅遊巴接送省卻了找路線的麻煩👍🏻

गाइड मिस्टर चान और टूर प्रोग्राम दोनों से बहुत प्रभावित हुए। थोड़ा दुख हुआ कि आज बहुत तेज़ हवा और ठंड थी, और नदी में पानी कम था, इसलिए नाव यात्रा का कार्यक्रम रद्द करना पड़ा। लेकिन उस हिस्से का पैसा वापस मिल गया (हालांकि पूरा नहीं)। बहुत प्रभावित हुए। उसके बाद, हमारे पास केवल ढाई घंटे का समय था। अगर हम दोपहर का खाना नहीं खाते तो सब कुछ कवर कर सकते थे, लेकिन हमें भूख लगी थी, इसलिए हमने आधे घंटे तक चाय की दुकान पर खाना खाया (कई स्वादिष्ट दुकानें थीं)। हम बंदरों के बगीचे में नहीं गए क्योंकि हमें बंदर पसंद नहीं हैं, लेकिन हम सीधे तेनर्युजी मंदिर गए और फिर बांस के जंगल में गए, जहाँ से नदी के किनारे मुख्य सड़क तक जाने का रास्ता है। यदि आप खरीदारी नहीं करते हैं या प्रसिद्ध कॉफी की दुकान पर लाइन में नहीं लगते हैं, तो आप किमोनो फ़ॉरेस्ट तक समय पर पहुँच सकते हैं। मैं चलने के मार्ग की योजना बनाने के लिए एआई का उपयोग करने की सलाह देता हूँ ताकि चलना सुचारू हो सके। संक्षेप में, गाइड बहुत अच्छा था, अन्य मार्गों से बेहतर (अन्य गाइडों से कार का इंतजार करते समय पूछने पर, वे बहुत मूडी थे, भले ही वे एक ही कंपनी के गाइड थे)। इस विशेष दिन के लिए बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।

गाइड हमेशा उपलब्ध था, मिलने का स्थान क्योटो स्टेशन पर है, जहाँ बसें हैं (गाइड में अच्छी तरह से समझाया गया है)। सगानो ट्रेन बहुत ही अनोखी है और लगभग 2 घंटे की नाव यात्रा बहुत सुंदर है, और शरद ऋतु के रंगों के साथ तो और भी अधिक। फिर आपके पास बांस के जंगल में घूमने और आसपास के इलाकों में घूमने के लिए 2 घंटे का समय होता है। सब कुछ बहुत अच्छी तरह से व्यवस्थित था! :) अनुशंसित!

This was my first tour in Japan and I had lots of fun exploring Arashiyama. The train was beautiful, weather was on our side with some of the leaves turned yellow, maybe the autumn season is best enjoyed in the start of November . I wasn’t expecting much of the the boat ride but the guide were super funny and friendly and the scenery was magnificent. Last but not least our tour guide for the whole journey was amazing too, thank you so much Huahua and good luck in the future.

Sagano romantic train and Hozugawa river boat ride was one of the best tours we had in Japan. The boatmen were very, making a lot of jokes and the 1.5 hour boat tour was very entertaining. Later on we visited the Arashiyama bamboo forest, had lunch and snacks. Thanks to our tour guide Mr Xie for organising everything for us🙏

The train ride was not as impressive as shown on pics. It also depend on which side of the train you are on to get the views. The boat ride was more enjoyable with significant views but duration is abit long like almost 2hrs.

​이번에 가이드님 덕분에 아라시야마에서 정말 잊지 못할 최고의 하루를 보냈습니다. 대나무 숲(치쿠린)부터 도게츠교까지, 단순히 풍경만 보는 게 아니라 그곳에 담긴 역사와 흥미로운 이야기들을 친절하게 설명해 주셔서 여행이 훨씬 풍성해졌습니다. ​특히 일행들의 걸음 속도에 맞춰 세심하게 동선을 챙겨주시고, 사진이 잘 나오는 숨은 명당에서 인생샷도 많이 남겨주셔서 정말 감사했어요. 가이드님의 밝은 에너지와 친절한 안내 덕분에 지치지 않고 즐겁게 투어를 마칠 수 있었습니다. 다음에도 기회가 된다면 꼭 다시 안내받고 싶습니다. 감사합니당 ㅋㅋ
