Row, row, row your boat. 🚣 The mountainous Arashiyama area in north-western Kyoto is perhaps most well-known for its bamboo grove, but a riverboat ride along the beautiful Hozu River is not to be missed either! You will be steered by boatmen using oars and bamboo poles in traditional flat-bottomed boats on the two-hour,16km-long journey. Great for nature-lovers, sit back and enjoy the unusual rock formations, birds and wildlife and even some rapids along the way.

📍 You can reach the cruise departure point by shuttle bus or a short 10-minute walk from JR Kameoka Station. #VisitJapanAU #Nature
