About this sight
This railway takes its passengers on a picturesque train journey through the mountains between Saga and Kameoka. Also known as Sagano Romantic Train or Sagano Torokko, the train ride boasts a different view according to season. In spring, visitors may enjoy more than 7 kilometers lined with blooming cherry trees. Summer offers a panoramic view of Hozukyo Gorge, while autumn brings colorful fall foliage for passengers to enjoy. In winter, a serene winter landscape with trees covered in snow leaves no doubt about the origin of the nickname "Sagano Romantic Train".
