Sagano Scenic Railway

Sagano Scenic Railway tickets are a must while you're in Kyoto. Established in 1990, taking over an old disused line, the train is now enjoyed by one million visitors each year. It's one of the most famous sightseeing trains on Earth! * Also known as the Sagano Romantic Train, this expedition into the Kyoto mountains sees you crisscross the Hozu River, moving slowly through a picturesque countryside unique to Japan. * The route along the Hozugawa Valley is like something out of classical Japanese art. See seasonal colors as you wind through the valley, from the snow-topped canopies of winter to the vibrant reds and oranges of spring.
