Saga Torokko Train
The Kyoto Sagano Torokko Train is a tourist train that is an electrified version of the JR Sanin Main Line and runs on the tracks of the old Sanin Main Line. The train, which has a red body with gold and black patterns, travels 7.3km between Saga Station and Kameoka Station for about 25 minutes, allowing you to see the beauty of each season.
