A Hidden Gem That 99% of People Don't Know! Katsura River Drift π
What to do in Arashiyama? Try the Katsura River Drift! It's an unforgettable experience! π πΈ The drift boats are traditional Japanese wooden boats, operated by three boatmen: one with a paddle, one with a pole, and one steering the boat. The journey lasts about two hours. Along the way, you might spot lots of little animals like monkeysπ. πβοΈ The water flow is gentle, making it suitable for all ages. You can enjoy the unique natural scenery of each seasonπ and the special fun of drifting. The three boatmen will also take turns to perform in English and Japanese, singing boat songs and telling jokes. πΆ π€It's worth mentioning that the Katsura River Gorge is beautiful all year round: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green leaves in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. πHow to Get There: Take the JR line to Kameoka Station. Exit from the North Exit (there will be signs for the Katsura River Drift exit). After exiting, you'll see directional signs every 10 meters or so. Follow the signs for about 5-10 minutes, and you'll be there! π πβοΈ #Kyoto #HiddenGem #KatsuraRiverDrift
