Overview
A "torokko" originally refers to a small, box-shaped freight car used for transporting goods, running on rails laid in places where trucks and regular trains couldn't go. It's a simple train that rattles along slowly. The Sagano Scenic Railway perfectly fits this image.
It's about the speed of a slightly fast bicycle. That's precisely why you can enjoy the nature and gorge scenery along the Hozugawa River. The one-way trip is about 7km and takes about 25 minutes, during which you can slowly enjoy the different scenery of each season: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves, withered fields in winter, and sometimes snowscapes.
In spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom; in summer, the fresh greenery and rustling of bamboo fill the air; in autumn, the mountains are adorned with colorful autumn leaves; and in winter, snow covers the mountains. Throughout the year, the Sagano Scenic Railway travels alongside the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.
Its breathtaking beauty will leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Sagano Scenic Railway employs diesel locomotive drivers. These drivers operate diesel locomotives, which are now a rarity, with reliable skills and a focus on customer satisfaction, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey for everyone.
Furthermore, conductors on the trains, and staff at stations and station shops, will support your journey with a spirit of hospitality.
And above all, our staff fully supports the safe operation of our vehicles every day.
