As I hiked along the bank of the Hozugawa River, I saw this covered boat taking people for rides in the flat water upstream of the Togetsukyo Bridge in Kyoto’s Arashiyama neighborhood.
The whitewater boats which are boarded much further upstream in the town of Kameoka, yet end their run in this same vicinity, are similar in design (though not covered).
