Enjoy the Cherry Blossoms of Hozukyo on the Sagano Romantic Train- "Sagano Rich"! On the Classically Designed Sightseeing Train, You Can Experience All Four Seasons While Enjoying the Natural Breeze in Kyoto!
The Sagano Romantic Train Running Between Sagano, Kyoto and Kameoka
This video, titled "Sagano Romantic Train [4K] Feel the Pale Pink of Spring on the Sagano Romantic Train" (嵯峨野観光鉄道【4K】薄桃色の春を散らしながら走るトロッコ列車), was created by "eo official."
It introduces the Sagano Romantic Train that runs through the beautiful cherry blossom of Hozukyo, Kyoto.
The Sagano Romantic Train is a small, simple, red and black sightseeing train that runs at a speed of about 25 km/h.
Because it moves slow, you can enjoy the seasonal views along the Hozu River (保津川, Hozugawa) making it one of the most popular tourist spots in Kyoto.
In this article, we'll introduce the history of the Sagano Romantic Train, as well as tourist information, alongside the video.
Before reading on, we recommend taking a look at the beautiful, windowless, open carriage Sagano Romantic Train "Sagano Rich" that runs through Hozukyo Gorge in spring.
What is the Sagano Romantic Train?
The Sagano Romantic Train was opened in 1991 after the JR Sanin Line, which was no longer in use, was converted to a double track.
Since then, it has been a popular sightseeing train in Kyoto, where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the Hozu River valley in all four seasons, including cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn leaves, and winter scenery, as well as the unusual rocks of the Hozu River, such as Magoroku Rock, Lion Rock and Frog Rock.
Sagano Romantic Train "Sagano Rich," an open carriage with no windows, is especially popular because the seats are made of wooden chairs, and you can enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere of the train car and the surrounding scenery while feeling the breeze.
You can see the inside of the train at 1:00 in the video.
Sightseeing Information For the Sagano Romantic Train
The Sagano Romantic Train runs from Saga Torokko Station to Kameoka Torokko Station, with Hozukyo Torokko Station and Arashiyama Torokko Station along the way.
JR Sugano Station and Saga Torokko Station are next to one other, so we recommend getting on a train to Kameoka Torokko Station and going back on the Hozu River boat ride and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Oi River, Togetsukyo Bridge, and Arashiyama.
The standard fare for the Sagano Romantic Train is ¥630 for adults, regardless of route.
The trains are closed during the winter season from December 30 to the end of February and on Wednesdays.
You can book a ticket online, at stations, and at travel agencies.
Reservations can be checked online, and same-day tickets are also available.
For the latest information and timetables, please check the official website.
A railway diorama and steam locomotive D51 are exhibited at SL square at Saga Torokko Station.
In addition, original goods of the trains, etc. are sold at the station shop. These make the perfect souvenirs.
