Arashiyama Rickshaw Experience

In the past, rickshaws were a common means of transportation in daily life, but with the evolution of modern transportation, Japanese rickshaws have gradually become a tourist experience in major sightseeing spots.

The biggest difference from traditional rickshaws is that what these rickshaws mainly provide is not a transportation service that takes you from point A to point B, but an experience of "sightseeing x local tour guide".
The biggest advantage of using a rickshaw to go sightseeing in Arashiyama is that you don’t have to walk to different attractions by yourself, and you can also ask the driver to introduce the story behind each attraction. You can also exchange Japanese culture with them, although most of them are They are local Japanese, but many of them can speak English and even Chinese. And many of them are handsome guys, they all like to communicate with tourists from different places, so you can also ask them to teach you a few commonly used Japanese, so that your trip to Kyoto will add some special memories!

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Sightseeing

When you go to Kyoto, you must not miss Arashiyama, and when you go to Arashiyama, you must not miss the bamboo forest!
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, the bamboo forest in Arashiyama can be said to be a unique scenic spot in the Kansai region.

Although some people will say that it is just an ordinary bamboo forest, what is so special about it?

Perhaps it is a simple bamboo forest, which allows everyone who walks in to enjoy the "sense of tranquility" that is usually lacking, so it has an indescribable magic for many tourists who come from the city. Basically, everyone who comes to Arashiyama will take the time to walk through the bamboo forest. Whether it is the first time he has come to Arashiyama or he has been here many times, he will definitely go to the bamboo forest.

Arashiyama Sightseeing Train

Small train boarding place

From JR Kyoto Station, take the Sanin Main Line to "JR Saga Arashiyama Station", then walk for about 5 minutes, walk across the JR station, and you will arrive at the small train Saga Station "トロッコ Saga Station".
If you like to visit the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest first, you can also walk to "JR Saga Arashiyama Station" first, and then pass through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest to the small train Arashiyama Station "トロッコ Arashiyama Station". You can also take the Arashiyama small train to the small train Kameoka Station. Enjoy the rivers, red leaves, and cherry blossoms along the way!

Features of Arashiyama Sightseeing Train

Driving route, scenic features

The biggest feature of the Arashiyama Sightseeing Train is that it allows you to slowly appreciate the other side of Arashiyama. Because the speed of the Lanshan sightseeing train is not fast, it is only about 25km/h, which happens to be a little faster than a bicycle. Moreover, the total length of the entire route is 7.3km. In addition to the places where you need to stop halfway, you will also stop at designated places to take pictures for you.

In addition, it takes about 25 minutes from "トロッコ Arashiyama Station" to "トロッコ亀冈駅" and within half an hour, you can experience different scenery according to different seasons, such as the cherry blossom tunnel in spring and the red leaves in autumn Tunnels, bright green tunnels in summer, and snowy landscapes in winter.
And the whole driving route is along the Hozu River, if you pay attention carefully, you will also see the Hozu River cruise ship passing under you!

compartment design

The Arashiyama Sightseeing Train has a total of 5 sets of cards, and all seats are designated seats that need to be reserved.

The open carriage of the Sagano train, a scenic spot in Arashiyama, Kyoto

One of the cards is an open train, and the top of the car is designed with transparent glass, so that you can take the most beautiful photos.
In addition, because there is no blocking of any window glass, many times it will be fully booked by passengers in the first place!

If it is in a popular season, especially the cherry blossom season in spring, the red leaves season in autumn, Japanese holidays, etc., the open carriages on that day will often be fully booked. If you buy the ticket on the same day, you may miss the opportunity to take the open carriage. Therefore, before departure, it is highly recommended toBuy train tickets in advance, to avoid the situation of arriving at the station but not being able to get on the bus.

It is hard to find a ticket for the Arashiyama Sightseeing Train

The biggest difference between the Arashiyama Sightseeing Train and other ordinary railways in Kyoto is that it does not provide a large number of departures and trains every hour to carry passengers back and forth to "トロッコ Saga Station" and "トロッコ亀冈駅", but uses one train from one day to In the evening, I keep going back and forth between the two stations of "Torokko Saga Station" and "Torokko Kameoka Station".

It takes about 25 minutes to drive from "トロッコ Saga Station" to "トロッコぺ庀駅", and then it takes exactly 25 minutes to return to the "Torokko Saga Station". There is a train, and it is also the reason why it can "departure at 00 minutes" and "departure at 30 minutes".

Therefore, there will only be 7 sets of trains departing from "Torokko Saga Station" to "Torokko Saga Station" from day to night, and then only 7 sets of trains will return to "Torokko Saga Station" from "Torokko Saga Station" a day. If you come to Arashiyama to experience the Arashiyama sightseeing train during the spring cherry blossom period and autumn red leaves period, it is highly recommended that you prepare the ticket in advance before departure, so that you can avoid arriving at the scene in the morning, but even the last day in the afternoon The train tickets are also full of embarrassing situations.

In the official video of the Arashiyama Sightseeing Train below, you can preview the cherry blossoms along the way and the scenery of the Hozu River! In addition, if you depart from "Torokko Saga Station" to "Torokko Kameoka Station", you must take theright side of the train, to be able to guarantee a perfect view.

Hozu River Cruise

Because there are no scenic spots on the Kameoka "Torokko-Kameoka Station", most passengers take the Arashiyama train from "Torokko-Saga Station" to "Torokko-Kameoka Station", and then use the same small train Turning back to "トロッコ Saga Station" is like watching the same scene twice, which has a little discount on the entire sightseeing experience.

But if you plan to return to Arashiyama with the Hozu River Cruise, you can enjoy Arashiyama from another angle! Not only will you not feel bored on the return trip, but you can also get a completely different travel experience from other travelers!

Features of the Hozu River Cruise

If you want to talk about the characteristics of Hozugawa cruise ships, you must talk about their speed! First of all, because the Hozu River is a river that flows down from the mountain, the cruise ships on the Hozu River do not need to be equipped with motors, and the boatman can use the torrent-like river water to pass through different rocks and sharp turns, just like taking you on a mobile game. Pass through one after another cherry blossom tunnel and red leaf tunnel.

Sometimes you think that when the cruise ship is about to hit the rocks, the experienced boatman will always have a way to get you to the destination safely.
Just like the video below, Hozugawa cruises are very fast, a bit like whitewater sports, but they are definitely safer than whitewater sports, and you can also immerse yourself in the most beautiful natural scenery in different seasons.

Hozu River Cruise Departure Point

After arriving at Kameoka Station "トロッコぺ庀駅" on the small train from Arashiyama, transfer to the "Keihan Kyoto Kotsu Bus" near the station, and you will arrive at the departure point of the Hozugawa cruise in about 15 minutes.

Hozu River Cruise Course

After arriving at the starting point of the Hozugawa cruise ship, it will continue to descend along the flowing water of the Hozugawa River, cross the Hozugawa Bridge, pass through several twists and turns, pass through sections of cherry blossoms, green leaves, red leaves, and snow scenes, and finally return The terminus near Togetsukyo Bridge.

Kyoto Arashiyama attractions Hozu River cruise itinerary

How to make a reservation for a Hozu River Cruise

There are two ways to book a Hozugawa cruise ship. One is to purchase tickets after arriving at the Hozugawa ferry terminal, but it requires a certain level of Japanese ability to communicate with the staff, and because it can only carry 24 passengers at a time, it may not be possible.
