Sagano Romantic Train

The Sagano Torokko Train is a sightseeing train that covers the 7.3-kilometer route between Torokko Saga Station (Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City) and Torokko Kameoka Station (Kameoka City) in about 25 minutes. As the Torokko Train runs through the Hozu River Gorge, renowned for its dramatic scenery, passengers can enjoy breathtaking views that change with the seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and autumn foliage in fall—right from the train windows. A new Torokko train is scheduled to debut in the spring of 2027, so the current trains will be the last chance to enjoy the scenery until December 29, 2026. Don’t miss this opportunity, and please look forward to the new Torokko train! (The information provided here applies to the current trains.)

Area & City/Town Introduction (Kameoka City)

Kameoka City has long been the center of Tamba Province. Toward the end of the Sengoku period, Akechi Mitsuhide built Kameyama Castle, and the city flourished as the castle town of the Kameyama Domain.
Today, the city is home to its “Three Major Tourist Attractions”: the “Hozu River Boat Ride,” the “Sagano Torokko Train,” and “Yunohana Onsen.” In addition, visitors can enjoy nature-based activities such as “rafting,” “paragliding,” and “BBQ at the River Station and Waterfront Park,” allowing you to fully experience the unique charms of this area. The area is also blessed with the charms of each season: cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers in spring, bellflowers in summer, cosmos and autumn foliage in fall, and sea of clouds from late fall through early spring.
