【Kyoto Arashiyama】A journey for the senses with the "Sagano Romantic Train"

🚋【Kyoto Arashiyama】A journey for the senses with the "Sagano Romantic Train" 🍁🌿 The Sagano Romantic Train runs through the popular tourist area of Arashiyama in Kyoto. This retro diesel locomotive offers a leisurely 25-minute ride along the stunning Hozugawa River scenery✨ ⸻ 🍃 Spring brings cherry blossoms, summer lush greenery, autumn fiery foliage, and winter serene snow landscapes. The natural beauty of Hozukyo Gorge transforms completely with each season. Especially during autumn, it feels like you're traveling through "mountains ablaze" with vibrant colors🍁 🚃 **From "Torokko Saga Station" to "Torokko Kameoka Station," covering approximately 7.3 km** Though the journey is short at about 25 minutes, every moment is special. Among the cars, "Car No. 5: The Rich Car" (an open-air car without windows) is particularly popular for feeling the breeze while traveling! 🌬️ *On rainy or cold days, it's recommended to bring warm clothing or rain gear. 📸 The gorge's beauty, visible only from the train The thrill of crossing bridges, the sky reflected on the river's surface, and the conductor's announcements—all create a moment where your senses are fully immersed in nature. ⸻ 📍 Sagano Scenic Railway (Sagano Romantic Train) Departure and arrival stations: Torokko Saga Station (near JR Saga-Arashiyama Station) to Torokko Kameoka Station 🕰️ Operating hours: Generally from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (about one train per hour) 🎟️ Fare: One-way 880 yen (440 yen for children) 🔗 Official website ⸻ 🚋 "The scenery from the train window feels like a nostalgic postcard." Even fleeting landscapes leave lasting memories. Why not experience such a journey in Kyoto's Arashiyama? 🌿🍁
