Sagano Scenic Railway, Kyoto Overview
An open-sided sightseeing train that runs seven kilometres up the Hozugawa gorge from Arashiyama, taking about twenty-five minutes. Every seat is reserved and autumn dates sell out, so book before you travel. It does not run at all from late December through February, and it takes most Wednesdays off outside peak season.
Sagano Scenic Railway, or Sagano Romantic Train, is a train exclusively built for sightseeing which runs from Arashiyama to Kameoka along the Hozugawa River. It runs at an idyllic pace, with the journey spanning a total of twenty-five minutes. The view changes according to the seasons, and the train is particularly popular during the autumn, where the foliage is a riot of colour. The train itself has four closed cars and one open car. Usually, many tourists combine the train journey with a river cruise along the Hozugawa river back to Arashiyama. This is a must-visit for a complete experience of Kyoto's picturesque landscape.
