Arashiyama,
We were now
familiar with the express train from Osaka to Kyoto. Outside Kyoto station, we
took a train to Kameoka Station in Arashiyama. From here we walked to Hozu
River Boat Jetty. This is a Japanese style river rafting/cruise on the
Hozu River. The open deck boat has by 3 boatmen to navigate the shallow water.
The 2 hours journey ended at Saga Arashiyama.
After the
cruise we walk around Arashiyama and Bamboo Forest.
Next, we
proceeded to board the Sagano Sight Seeing Tram, approximately 25 min ride. The track
was lined with cherry trees and overlooks the Hozu River. The scenery was
great.
With some daylight remaining, we walk around the town.
