The river upstream of Togetsukyō is called the Ōi-gawa and downstream the Katsura-gawa. It is known as the Hozu-gawa around the Kameoka and retains this name until it reaches Arashiyama (嵐山).

It's thought the expression 'kawakudari' (川下り) was first used when boats transported logs to help in the construction of the short-lived capital Nagaoka-kyō (長岡京 784-94).
With (a lot of) poetic license we might better translate 'kawakudari' as 'shooting the rapids'.
