Product Info: The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.- Attractions - Hozugawa Hozugawa is one of the more popular valleys in Kyoto. Hozugawa is located between Kameoka City in Kyoto and Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama, Kyoto. It is a scenic tourist destination famous for the Arashiyama Train (Sagano Scenic Railway). Huge rocks, boulders and rapids can be seen everywhere in Baojin Gorge. There are many changes of direction along the way along the valley. Looking down from the air, you can see several large bends shaped like the Chinese character "几". Visitors can choose to take a rubber boat for rafting near JR Kameoka Station. Wonders such as Eboshi Rock and Lion Rock come one after another. As the rapids turbulent, the waterway suddenly narrows, suddenly turns, and suddenly the water flow becomes gentle. Dangerous rapids and small waterfalls constantly converge, and you can also encounter the Arashiyama train passing by halfway up the mountain. The fast-flowing water upstream may make you so thrilling that you have no time to pay attention to the overall beauty. But when you reach the downstream, the view will suddenly become clear. Looking up, you can see the ancient buildings on the cliffs on both sides. The spring cherry blossoms and autumn maples each have their own beauty. Sometimes you can also see the scene of fairyland with water vapor. Arashiyama Train The Arashiyama Train, formerly known as the Sagano Train, is one of the best-run old-fashioned trains in Kyoto! As a special and unmissable slow-paced way of travel in Arashiyama, the train runs slowly along the scenic Hozu River Valley. The entire journey is 7.3 kilometers, and the one-way trip takes about 25 minutes, and the round trip takes about 1 hour. Arashiyama, famous for its pink cherry blossoms and red maple leaves, is pink and white in early spring and orange and red in late autumn; and emerald green and snow-white in midsummer and late winter. The colors of the four seasons almost make people forget the original colors of the mountains. Arashiyama Arashiyama, located west of Kyoto city, has been the site of many noble villas since the Heian period, and its name often appears in historical stories and classical literary works. Since there are large areas of wild cherry blossoms and maple forests to be seen along the banks of the Katsura River in spring and autumn every year, it has long been one of the popular tourist spots. The entire Arashiyama area is centered on the Togetsukyo Bridge that spans the Katsura River. The bridge was named after a poem by Emperor Kameyama that reads "It's like a full moon passing over the bridge." Although the Togetsukyo Bridge looks like a wooden bridge, today's Togetsukyo Bridge is actually a modern bridge with reinforced concrete structure that can accommodate cars, but it uses antique wooden guardrails to match the surrounding scenery. The section of the Katsura River near Togetsukyo Bridge is customarily called the Ooikawa River. - The Hozu River cruise plan is not included - 7:45 Gathering 8:00 Depart from Osaka Dotonbori Kani Doraku East Branch 09:15~09:30 Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit Tourist Bus Stop 11:02~11:25 Take the train 12:00~16:30 Free time in Arashiyama 17:30~18:00 Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit Tourist Bus Stop 19:00 Dismiss at Osaka Dotonbori Kani Doraku East Branch.
