This is my second time riding the Arashiyama Scenic Railway. This time, I mainly wanted to bring my son to experience the unique train ride and enjoy the scenery along the way. It was very convenient to book and reserve seats on Klook in advance, which meant we didn't have to rush or buy tickets on the spot. I highly recommend it to tourists who want to enjoy the Arashiyama scenery.

The Sagano Scenic Railway (Sagano Romantic Train) is definitely worth experiencing. It's a classic itinerary in the Arashiyama area that allows you to enjoy both the natural beauty of the four seasons and a nostalgic railway atmosphere.
