Sagano Kanko Railway Co., Ltd. was established in 1990 with only nine staff members, including the president, for the purpose of utilizing for sightseeing the tracks that were no longer used due to the double-tracking of the JR San-in Line.
With the desire to please our customers, we have provided services that convey the spirit of hospitality, and before long the company became a popular sightseeing spot in Kyoto, known as the "Arashiyama Sagano Romantic Train".
We hope to continue to safely provide excitement to many customers and to be a company that grows hand in hand with the local people.

Sagano Romantic Train has a classical color scheme. Many people may feel nostalgia for the sight of the train as it weaves through the valley pulled by a diesel locomotive.
Inside the five Art Deco-style carriages are wooden chairs and bare light bulbs. The train takes you away from the comforts of everyday life and takes you to a comfortable and extraordinary place where you can feel the wind and listen to the sounds. If you ride in the "Rich-go" (No. 5), an open car without window glass, you will have a moment to feel the wind, light, and sound.

In spring, cherry blossoms dance in full bloom, in summer, fresh greenery and bamboo rustle, in autumn, autumn leaves color the mountains, and in winter, snow covers the mountains. Throughout the year, Sagano Romantic Train travels with the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.
The overwhelming beauty of the scenery will leave visitors with unforgettable memories.

Sagano Scenic Railway has diesel locomotive drivers. They operate diesel locomotives, which have become rare nowadays, with solid technical skills and with an awareness of customer satisfaction, and take passengers on a safe and enjoyable journey.
Conductors on board the trains and staff at stations and station stores support your journey with a spirit of hospitality.
Above all, our staff members do their utmost to support the safe operation of our trains on a daily basis.
