Key Information

Description

The Sagano Romantic Train is actually a collection of several wagon-style trains with a diesel engine that crosses a 7.3 km long ravine on the mountains of Arashiyama in Kyoto. The train departs from Saga Torokko station and arrives at Kameoka Torokko Station and takes 25 minutes. The train chugs along at an average speed of 25 km/h allowing visitors to take in the beautiful landscape, which changes according to the season offering a unique sight depending on the time of the year you visit. During spring, tourists can marvel at the cherry blossoms in full bloom, in summer the mountains are covered with lush green vegetation, in autumn, the tree leaves turn crimson and golden offering a spectacular sight, while winter offers the possibility to see a snowy landscape. To admire the nature to the maximum, trains offer an open-air seat section where visitors can enjoy the wind and the sun on their face as they snap pictures of the surrounding nature. In winter a wagon with an in-built stove keeps passengers warm as they admire the frozen landscape. This train ride is a must for every visitor to Arashiyama, Kyoto and an unforgettable experience — so book your ticket and reserve your seat now.
