Kameoka

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

with the guide Tommo absolutely brilliant. he is very caring and ensure teh trip ran like clock work. he even have a person website telling us where to resemble after the trip. love the train ride and teh boat ride and if I were to book it myself that would be too much hassle . highly recommended

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.

We had a great time very funny guides, relaxing beautiful weather even though it was August
