A two-hour wooden boat ride down the Hozu River from Kameoka to Arashiyama, navigating gentle rapids through a forested gorge. A perfect pairing with the Sagano Scenic Railway for a round trip. Operates year-round with heated kotatsu boats in winter.
- [Kimono Forest](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kimono-forest): Kyoto, Attraction. 600 pillars wrapped in Kyo-Yuzen fabric at Randen Arashiyama Station. Glows at night. Free, open 24h. Good evening stop after the bamboo grove.

A river valley in the hills northwest of Kyoto where three temples, Jingo-ji, Saimyo-ji and Kozan-ji, stand a short walk apart along the Kiyotaki River. The maples turn in November, inns build dining platforms over the water, and a riverside trail runs down to Kiyotaki.
- [Sagano Bamboo Grove](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/sagano-bamboo-grove): Kyoto, Attraction. Tall bamboo stalks forming a corridor in Arashiyama. Very Instagrammed. Go at dawn or it's a queue of tourists posing.
- [Sagano Scenic Railway](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/sagano-scenic-railway): Kyoto, Attraction. A 25-minute open-air sightseeing train running along the Hozu River gorge between Saga and Kameoka. Cherry blossoms in spring and fiery foliage in autumn make this one of Kyoto's most popular seasonal attractions. Book early in peak seasons.
- [Kyozuan Arashiyama](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kyozuan-arashiyama): Kyoto, Attraction. A small takeaway tofu-sweets counter at the start of the path to Arashiyama's bamboo grove, about five minutes' walk from Randen Arashiyama Station. Its tofu soft serve, made with silken tofu as well as soy milk, is dense enough that the shop's sign says it won't fall out of an upside-down cone.
