Sagano Scenic Railway

S.H Hash via Google Maps

Winding gently along the Hozugawa River between Arashiyama and Kameoka, the Sagano Scenic Railway—also known as the Sagano Romantic Train—offers a nostalgic throwback to classic rail travel. The retro train traces a picturesque seven-kilometer route through mountain tunnels and forested valleys, treating passengers to breathtaking views of turquoise waters, spring cherry blossoms, or fiery autumn foliage. Travelers can enjoy the breeze from open-sided cars before exploring tranquil rural rice fields or continuing on foot near the terminal station.
