A Winding Track to Revival

**Please be sure to use your headphones.**

Like the Hozu River, the story of the Sagano Romantic Train winds through its twisty tracks. Let us take a trip through its open windows by asking three questions.

01 | This is a Train “you have to ride to understand”...but what are its roots?
Why does the Romantic Train feel different from other trains? Learning its history might just change how you perceive the ride.

02 | Without the Hozukyo Ravine, would Kyoto even exist?
Long before any railways, a treasure from the Hozu River was carried across this land. What was that treasure, and how did it influence the Edo Period?

03 | What were the hardships involved in getting the train to run across sheer cliffs?
A modern train runs along Meiji-Period tracks. An untold tale of blood and sweat winds along this rail.

Listen to this Guide as you ride while keeping one ear open, so as to catch the conductor’s own tour.
