The Hozu River

保津川渓谷の岩場に停泊する屋形船を撮影する｡屋形船に乗った客は徳利と盃を手にして酒宴に興じている｡船頭は船の舳先や岩の上に腰掛け､櫂を漕ぐのを止めて休憩している｡保津川下りとは亀岡保津町から嵐山渡月橋上流までの行程約16kmの船による川下りである｡近世には丹波亀岡から京都へ木材や物資を輸送した舟運が､明治後期に京都鉄道の開通により衰え､行楽化した｡A "yakata" boat is docked at Hozu River Gorge. The people on the boat are enjoying drinking sake. Boatmen are resting on the bow of the boat and on the rock. People took the approximately 16km boat ride from Hozu Town in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. The river boats that carried lumber and goods from Tanba Kameoka to Kyoto were converted to leisure boats at the end of the Meiji Period when the Kyoto Railway was established
