See the Hozugawa river and its extraordinary valleys while riding the scenic train from Saga-Arashiyama

The Sagano Scenic Railway runs between Arashiyama and the top of the Hozugawa river. The railway has been in operation since 1991 when the beautiful streams and rock formations began catching the attention of locals and tourists. Pink cherry blossoms blooming in spring, green leaves sprouting in summer, maple leaves flaming in autumn, and snow falling in winter leave tourists in awe throughout the year. The train runs slowly especially at places with the best viewpoints and make sures that everyone has a chance to take a picture of the magnificent scenery. Give a wave at the people rafting down the Hozugawa river or have a conversation with the railway conductors - The Sagano Scenic Railway will be a journey like no other!
