Arashiyama Boat Rental Arashiyama Tsusen

One of the best ways to explore the Arashiyama area is by renting a boat and rowing around the lovely lower Hozu-gawa area, especially when the cherry blossoms are out.

If you walk just a few minutes upriver from the Togetsu-kyo Bridge on the north side of the Hozu-gawa River, you’ll come to a shack where they rent simple rowboats. These are a great favorite with the kids and they’re a good way to get away from the crowds that plague Arashiyama during busy periods.
