This article sorts out the fare, transportation method and photo sharing when going there. ^^
◎ How to get from Kyoto to Sagano?
We decided to take the Arashiyama Little Train (Sagano Torotake Train), so we took the JR Sagano Line directly from Kyoto Station, got off at Saga Arashiyama Station, and walked 3 to 5 minutes to the Sagano Sightseeing Line. Buy tickets at Saga Station and take the small train.It operates on the JR Sagano Line’s rapid trains which depart every hour and three-time regular trains per hour. The frequency will be increased during sightseeing seasons.
◎ What are the ticket purchases related to the Arashiyama train (Sagano Torokk train)?
※ Fare: One-way fare is 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for children. Just multiply by 2 for round trip.
※ Departure time and frequency: The first departure from Sagano Station is at 9:07. There are a total of eight departures a day, and the journey takes about 25 minutes, so the station staff will check and board the train from 9 o'clock. , After departing on time, arrive at Kameoka Station at around 9:30.After the small fire pump arrived at Kameoka Station, after staying for about 5 minutes, he departed back to Sagano Station.
※ The fifth carriage of the legendary Arashiyama train: I went to play at that time, and the experts asked for generous, small V and Meiko to purchase the "legendary fifth carriage", mainly because the Arashiyama train can enjoy the Hozu Gorge and the Hozu River. The beautiful scenery, like although we came across the cherry blossoms late in the evening, the whole mountain mist is surrounded by green water, which is still very beautiful. This fifth carriage is an open space. It’s great to take photos and appreciate the scenery. This section The carriage is only open for ticket purchase on the same day. We are afraid that we will not be able to buy tickets, so we will go to Sagano Station before 8 in the morning!
※ Other matters: I'm afraid I won't be able to buy tickets for the reasons mentioned above. After all, it's the cherry blossom viewing season. I came here early in the morning... In fact, the ticket window starts at 8:40 and sells tickets, and there is really no way to specify the legendary pair. For the seat number, we relied on the advantage of a small group of seven people. We bought single and even number seats respectively, and exchanged seats between the acts.
At the beginning, we set the way to buy the Hozu Gorge cruise ticket from Sagano Station. The one-way ticket fare is 3,900 yen. Then, take the Arashiyama train from Kameoka to Arashiyama, and go to Arashiyama to walk the bamboo forest, Nonomiya Shrine, Tenryu Temple and other attractions, but the weather is not good and it rains, so I took a small train for the whole journey.
