Encounter fantastic natural scenery,
Saga Torokko Train

The Kyoto Sagano Romantic Train is a sightseeing train that runs on the old Sanin Main Line tracks after the electrification of the JR Sanin Main Line. The train, with its red body and gold and black patterns, travels 7.3 km between Saga Station and Kameoka Station in about 25 minutes, allowing you to see the beauty of each season.

You can ride a local train and look out the window at the autumn leaves and river. The experience of riding a train and seeing the beautiful scenery change with the seasons is something that can only be experienced on a Torokko train, and it is one of the reasons why not only Japanese locals but also travelers from all over the world flock to Kyoto with the changing seasons.

Since the Torokko train is available on a first-come, first-served basis, you must make a reservation in advance to travel without worrying about boarding.

This train is an up train from Kameoka to Saga Station. It's even better because you can get off at Arashiyama in the middle and spend some leisurely time! It's also good even if you just run. You can see a pretty view, and you can see Arashiyama from the train, so it's really popular.

* Please note that although you can get off the Torokko train midway within the designated section, re-boarding is not allowed.
