How to get from Kyoto to Sagano?
We decided to take the Arashiyama Little Train (Sagano Torotsu Train), so we took the JR Sagano Line directly at Kyoto Station, got off at Saga Arashiyama Station, and walked 3 to 5 minutes to buy tickets from Sagano Tourist Line Take the small train.It operates on the JR Sagano Line's rapid trains which depart every hour and three regular trains every hour. The frequency will be increased during the sightseeing season.

What about purchasing tickets for Arashiyama Train (Sagano トロッコ Train)?
- Fare: 600 yen for one-way adults and 300 yen for children, and multiply by 2 for round trips.
- Departure time and frequency: The first departure from Sagano Station is at 9:07. There are a total of eight departures every day, and the journey takes about 25 minutes. Therefore, 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 arrived at Kameoka Station, after staying for about 5 minutes, he set off back to Sagano Station.
- 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, so I came here early in the morning... In fact, the ticket window starts at 8:40 to sell tickets, and there is really no way to specify the legendary double number. Seats, we relied on the advantage of a small group of seven people. We bought single and even seats respectively, and exchanged seats between the acts.
According to the legend, the fifth carriage of the Arashiyama Little Train, I went to play at that time, and the three people, generous, small V and Meiko, asked to buy the "Legendary Fifth Car", mainly because the Arashiyama little train can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hozu Gorge and Hozu River. For example, although we came across the cherry blossoms that bloom late this time, the whole mountain mist is surrounded by green water and it is still very beautiful. This fifth carriage is an open space. It’s great to take photos and enjoy the scenery. This carriage is only Tickets were purchased on the opening day. We were afraid that we would not be able to buy tickets, so we had to go to Sagano Station before 8 o'clock in the morning!
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. , But it was raining in bad weather, so I took the train for the whole journey.
