Sagano Romantic Train

The Sagano Romantic train travels leisurely along a 25-minute route from Saga torokko station to Kameoka torokko Station with a total length of 7.3 km, following the scenic beauty of the Hozukyo Ravine in an art deco train with gold and black patterns on the red painted body. 

The train will take you through the four seasons of the dreamy Hozukyo Ravine and Hozugawa river and unravel the natural beauty that this area has to offer. 

Cherry blossoms in spring

Lush greens in summer

Japanese maple in fall

And perhaps a dusting of snow in winter

Saga torokko station, which sees the train's first departures, is adjacent to JR Saga-Arashiyama Station and can be reached from Kyoto Station in about 15 minutes via the Sagano Line.

Saga torokko station houses a convenient rent-a-cycle service, as well as Diorama Kyoto Japan - one of the country's largest collections of model trains, featuring recreated miniature versions of Kyoto's historical sites and neighborhood scenes.
