All Reviews of Sagano Romantic train

Riding the Sagano Romantic Train was a relaxing and unforgettable journey. The train slowly traveled through the Hozugawa River gorge, offering sweeping views of the mountains, forests, and river valley and a sense of Kyoto's natural beauty throughout the seasons. With the gentle breeze and ever-changing scenery outside the window, I felt especially happy. Although the ride wasn't long, it left a lasting impression. It's a train journey worth savoring and added a wonderful memory to my Kyoto trip.

The Sagano Kameoka romantic train has such a nostalgic feel.

The cars themselves don’t have windows, so you can enjoy the breeze while taking in the ravine and forest outside. It’s totally relaxing, and I really recommend trying it!

You get to enjoy the outdoor scenery the whole way. The staff even sing and interact with passengers, which makes for a fantastic atmosphere. Totally worth checking out!

This is the golden train route for cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall.

The sightseeing train has a simple design, nothing too fancy. It's really all about enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

The retro-style train has only four cars, and all seats are reserved. The scenery is different on each side of the train. During cherry blossom or autumn foliage season, it gets packed, so make sure to book tickets early.

The whole route is 7.3 km with four stations, and it takes about 30 minutes one way. You can enjoy different scenery in every season if you visit at different times of the year.

This train is super popular during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. You definitely need to book early, since reserved seats often sell out fast.

The ride is only 25 minutes, so it's not that long, but the scenery along the way is absolutely fantastic!

You can even hear the familiar Banyan Tree song on the little train. Turns out, it's actually a staff member in costume and a mask! 🤭
