BESTThe scenery is really pretty. However, the chair is a bit uncomfortable, but it's not a long trip, so it's worth riding. Maybe it's because Japan has a similar sentiment to us, so it's the fall foliage season, so there are a lot of seniors group tours, children's school trips, and overseas travelers like me, so on-site reservations are made. If you do, you may have to wait an hour and get on the train an hour later, so I recommend you to buy it and go.
Feel the charm of the four seasons in Sagano, Kyoto.

Saga Torokko Train

The train, with its red body and gold and black patterns, travels 7.3 km between Saga Station and Kameoka Station in about 25 minutes, allowing you to see the beauty of each season.
You can ride a local train and look out the window at the autumn leaves and river. The experience of riding a train and seeing the beautiful scenery change with the seasons is something that can only be experienced on a Torokko train, and it is one of the reasons why not only Japanese locals but also travelers from all over the world flock to Kyoto with the changing seasons.
