Hozu River Downhill

In the Edo period, Kyoto merchant Suminokura Ryoi spent large sums removing huge stones from the swift current of the Hozu River to make water transport possible. The river played an important role in the development of the Tamba region upstream, transporting its timber, rice and charcoal. Nowadays, the river is a tourism asset; a cruise in flat-bottomed boats directed over the rapids by skilled oarsmen traveling through the Hozu Gorge on a 2-hour long voyage. Seeing the hollows in the rocks, which have been created by the pole poking in the same places, gives you a sense of the long history of the river.
