Trekking the Hozugawa river

Your field assignment has shifted: Kyoto now lies at the heart of your investigation.

According to recently declassified scrolls from the RSBW's Lore and Legacy Division, the birthplace of the Weeb religion—once dismissed as fan-fictional legend—may actually rest somewhere along the Hozu River. Local whispers mention a long-forgotten temple tucked away in the forested cliffs, known only to those who brave the current and seek with reverent intent.

Your mission: paddle upstream through the winding gorge of the Hozu, then locate and ascend to the mysterious Daihikaku Temple. There, you must uncover any surviving texts, symbols, or vending machines that might explain how the Weeb faith first took root in this sacred valley.

Whether you find enlightenment or just sore arms, one thing is certain: history flows here — and the current pulls you toward revelation.

#[150₴] Journey along the Hozugawa river

You must travel along the Hozugawa river to complete this mission. Explore the river by boat and take in the beautiful scenery. The team back at RSBW HQ suggest the following methods:

1. Hozugawa Kudari River Cruise: Start by heading to Kameoka Station (20-30min from Kyoto Station). Then head down to the river where you can purchase a ticket for a journey to Arashiyama. The cost is roughly 6000¥ for the 30min journey.
2. Arashiyama Paddle Boat: You can rent a paddle boat near the Togetsukyō Bridge. It costs roughly 2000¥ per hour for a 3-man boat.

HQ doesn't care how you do it, as long as you get it done!
