  2. It takes three men to navigate each flat-bottomed boat.
    Each team takes a turn at the rudder, oar and a pole (used to guide the boat away from rocks and push it clear of the more dangerous parts of the river).

  3. Kameoka (亀岡市) prospered as a port after the creation of the Sanin-dō Highway (山陰道) some time between the 7th-8thC.
    Wood from the Yuge (弓削) and Yamaguni (山国) areas was sent by river through the mountains and out into the Kyōto basin via the Hozu-gawa (保津川).

  4. Coined in 1982 by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, 'shinrin-yoku' (森林浴) is the idea that 'bathing' in nature will reap therapeutic benefits.

    While I've never heard anyone actually use this term, I absolutely subscribe to the revitalising power of forests🙌
