点评:After having ridden the Sagano scenic train ride to Kameoka we had the boat ride booked for half an hour later. Plenty of time to get to the Boat Ride starting point. However the directions and instructions of how to get to the boat were unclear. Signage at the station was muddled and we missed a connecting bus (ticket was extra Yen in cash for this). So a kind Japanese lady ordered a taxi for us which arrived 15mins later and drove us the 3km for ¥1600. The boat company itself was a very professional and organised outfit. Toilets at the departure but not at the end point without going into the town Arashiyama. Life jackets issued. Three boatmen rotated their jobs on the boat with varying degrees of understandable English which I am obviously very grateful for. Some very humorous commentary. We had a glorious sunny day for March and the rapids and river water speed didn’t at any point make me feel nervous, these guys know what they’re doing.
If I were to do again choose cherry blossom season (April) or Autumn as the colours along the river would be awesome but obviously the town and area will be rammed with tourists.
翻译:乘坐嵯峨野观光火车到达龟冈后,我们预订了半小时后的乘船。有足够的时间到达乘船的起点。但是,如何到达乘船的方向和说明不清楚。车站的标识很混乱,我们错过了一辆接驳巴士(这需要额外支付日元现金)。所以一位好心的日本女士为我们叫了一辆出租车,15 分钟后到达,载我们行驶了 3 公里,花费 1600 日元。船公司本身是一家非常专业和有组织的公司。出发处有厕所,但终点没有,除非进入岚山镇。发放了救生衣。三名船夫轮流在船上工作,他们的英语水平各不相同,我对此非常感激。一些非常幽默的评论。三月份我们度过了一个阳光灿烂的日子,急流和河水流速并没有让我感到紧张,这些家伙知道自己在做什么。
如果我再次选择樱花季(四月)或秋天,因为沿河的色彩会很美丽,但显然城镇和地区会挤满游客。
