    Hiking

    The Hozugawa River Gorge (Rankyo) is the dramatic canyon carved by the Hozugawa River between Kameoka and Arashiyama. It is worth visiting because it offers Kyoto's most spectacular natural scenery, which is best experienced via the traditional Hozugawa River Boat Ride or the scenic Sagano Torokko Train. Both methods provide unique, seasonal views of the rugged mountains, dense forests, and river rapids, making it a thrilling and relaxing contrast to the city's temples.
