Insider Tips

Weather check: Check for weather-related updates before you set out; conditions are assessed on the morning of your ride and services can be suspended for wind or high water.
Getting there: The ride departs near Kameoka Station and finishes in Arashiyama, so plan your return journey since it’s a one-way trip.
Timing: Allow roughly one and a half to two hours on the water; the exact length can vary with river conditions on the day.
Comfort: Seating is simple wooden benches that can feel tight over a long ride, so a small cushion is worth packing.
Weather: Pack sun protection and a cold drink for summer, since the boat is open to the elements aside from a rain canopy.

Rules:

No restrooms on board.
Food and beverages allowed.
Photography allowed; inform the boatman if you need to stand.
Life jackets must be worn properly.
Guide dogs are permitted.
