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. Viewing the scenery through the train’s open windows, let’s take a trip by asking three questions.

01 | 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.

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 can we glean about the Romantic Train’s roots from riding it?

This train feels different from your everyday train. Fully experiencing the ride with all five senses and learning the train’s roots will change your experience.

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