Arashiyama Enrichment Course

Instant confirmation
Free cancellation
This 16km boat ride trip to Arashiyama offers a whole experience of the Arashiyama. You don't have to worry about carrying your luggage, as we will handle it. However, please note that no changing rooms are available at the finish line. Therefore, we recommend going to Arashiyama Onsen's Fufu no Yu, where you can enjoy the hot springs and other amenities.

The boat ride trip does not require continuous rowing for 16km. You only need to paddle where necessary, following the guide's instructions. This means that even those not confident in their physical strength can participate and enjoy the trip.

The morning departure will arrive in Arashiyama at around 12:30 p.m., while the afternoon departure will arrive at around 5 p.m. So, you can relax and enjoy the hot springs after the boat ride trip. We highly recommend this trip as it covers everything you want—boat ride and hot springs.
*Rather than rowing continuously, paddle only where necessary according to the guide's instructions. Even those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy participating in boat ride.
