"Sagano Torokko Train" resumes operation 2 months suspension due to new corona Kyoto June 13 12:16
The sightseeing trolley train that runs along the valley of Kyoto, which had been suspended due to the new coronavirus, resumed operation after an interval of about two months after taking infection control measures from the 13th.
The Sagano truck train that runs along the valley of the Hozu River from Sagano in Kyoto to Kameoka, which was restarted, had been suspended since April due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
15 passengers, including parents and children, checked the body temperature in advance and sterilized their hands before boarding the first train, which will run for the first time in about two months, at 9:00 am on the 13th.
The number of passengers in the car was cut in half to prevent passengers from sitting in front of each other, and measures such as opening windows to ensure adequate ventilation were taken.
Unfortunately it rained a lot on the 13th, but the passengers were taking pictures of the train and enjoying the view of the valley from the train window.
A woman in her 30s who visited from Kyoto city as a parent and child said, "I like the train because my child likes it, so I was looking forward to restarting it. I chose to take the time to a time when there are few people and take my child out little by little." It was.
"I'm very grateful to the customers for coming. I will try to prevent infection so that I can enjoy it with a smile," said Sou Mayumi, the stationmaster of Sagano Kanko Railway.
