Sagano Sightseeing Railway is one of the best options to see autumn leaves in Kyoto. And what’s good about it, there is car #5 which is windowless that will give you astonishing view.
How to get there:
From KYOTO [ Departure track No.33 ] take line JR Sagano Line [16mins] and DROP-OFF at SAGA-ARASHIYAMA
Fare 230yen (120php, 2012) with Distance: 10.3 km
It’s just too bad because during that day, tickets are not being sold due to an incident or emergency maintenance of the train. (Actually, I saw something on news that morning that there is a landslide on the train tracks, since it is on local language I was not able to catch which affected route was it.)
In spite of what happened, I appreciate the guards and the train assistants for letting us get into the station and helped take photos near the cars.
Instead of being disappointed, I enjoyed watching the mini trains on its railways, picking-up omiyage and eating local cuisine.
Will still keep this on my unlisted bucket list, have to try this one during spring or autumn.
