Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Arashiyama

Kung ang Sagano Romantic Train ay susundan ng Hozugawa River Boat Ride, pinakamainam na maglaan ng isa at kalahating oras na pagitan, halimbawa, 11:00 AM para sa tren at 12:30 PM para sa bangka. Pagkatapos ng tren, may mga karatula na magtuturo sa inyo sa isang lagusan patungo sa hintuan ng bus. Pagkatapos ng maikling paghinto, direktang dadalhin kayo ng bus sa Hozugawa River Boat Building. Mayroong maliit na tindahan kung saan makakabili ng biskwit at inumin; siguraduhing bumili ng maiinom dahil aabutin ng halos isa at kalahating oras bago lumitaw ang tindahan sa bangka. Ang aming bangkero ay napakakatuwa, marahil ay beterano na, at mahusay makipag-ugnayan sa mga turista. Kapag may mabilis na agos, magbibigay siya ng babala at maglalaro ng kaunting pagwiwisik ng tubig, ngunit hindi kayo lubusang mababasa dahil may tarpaulin na maaaring gamitin. Sa buong biyahe, ang bangkero ay gumamit ng pinaghalong Japanese at maikling English na mga parirala, at magtuturo rin siya ng mga bagay para makita ninyo ang kalikasan. Ang boat ride ay napakaganda at lubos na inirerekomenda.

We boarded the bus in Kyoto, and our tour group consisted of members from various countries. Our guide, Xiao Shen, switched into four-language mode, introducing everything in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. His humorous and engaging style made everyone feel very comfortable. Xiao Shen handled all ticket purchases, coordination, and provided information about the train, Arashiyama route, and meeting points via Line. This allowed us to explore freely and simply meet at the designated time. The driver was excellent, providing a smooth ride that prevented motion sickness, and the seats were clean and comfortable. During the Hozugawa River boat ride, the weather was perfect. Four boatmen guided us downstream, introducing the environment and rock formations with simple animal vocabulary, accompanied by physical interactions and occasional tricks from the boatmen. With a gentle breeze and beautiful scenery, the trip was truly enjoyable.

Lee is a magnificent tour guide, he is energetic and humourous and taught me, a foreigner, everything about Japan. My favourite part was with the hungry deers and at the shrine, I was even able to dress in a traditonal kimono and go out to different fascinating places like on the romantic train with beautiful view of the ocean. With Lee as our tour guide boring shrine places instantly become better, he make our tour much more fun than I expected. Also what do you call a deer without eyes? A no eye deer.

we were able to find this shop fairly easily with an A-frame sign at the entrance. The area is a shared space with a few other craft workshops as well. There’s a restroom you can use once you are up the stairs. Elvie was our instructor. She gave very good instructions and demonstrations as well as helped with some finishing touches to our chopsticks. They have several types of wood you can upgrade to ranging from 4000 to 8000 yen. There are 3 types that we got to choose from that were already included with the price. I chose the Taiwan Cypress and my brother chose Hinoki. We opted for the optional laser engraving for an additional 1000 yen and it was well worth it! Such a great experience! a lovely souvenir to take back home. I will for sure be using them!

Huahua was a fantastic guide and made our day trip to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Nara Park and Fushimi Inari so enjoyable. He looked after all of us throughout the day, making sure we knew where to go, what to see, and the history and significance of each place. He kept us all together and on time while making everything feel relaxed and easy. It was a beautiful day, made even better by having such a wonderful guide. We would highly recommend Huahua!

Actually a great experience with a multilingual guide (Naomi). Timing and guidance was well paced and genuine. The boating activity was excellent and very accessible (and entertaining). There was no end of the day pressuring or "revew begging" from the guides to leave high ratings which really highlighted their professionalism. Thanks for an amazing day.

Ang aming gabay na si TIGER ay nagpaliwanag ng lahat tungkol sa aming tour at lalo na, binigyan niya ng konsiderasyon ang aming grupo sa aming huling booking para sa Sagano romantik ride at inayos niya ang kanyang oras sa paghihintay sa amin, salamat!
