Arashiyama Sagano Scenic Railway
嵐山嵯峨野観光鉄道Kyoto · Kansai
The Sagano Romantic Train runs along the Hozu river gorge between Arashiyama and Kameoka, at ¥880 one way for an adult. It does not run all year: the line shuts completely from late December to the end of February, and Wednesday is its regular no-service day outside the peak seasons. Check the official monthly operating calendar before building a day around it, because Wednesdays do run during Golden Week, the spring and summer holidays and the autumn foliage season.
