The "Sagano Sightseeing Train," which runs through the valley along the Hozu River in Kyoto, resumed operation on the 1st after the winter suspension period.
The "Sagano Sightseeing Train" is a sightseeing train that connects Sagano in Kyoto City and Kameoka City for about 7.3 kilometers.
After the winter suspension period, the service resumed for the first time in about two months from one day, and long-awaited people boarded the first train one after another at "Trokko Saga Station" in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City. ..
The departure ceremony was not held to prevent the spread of the new corona, and the first train carrying 45 passengers started running around 10 am on the 1st while being sent off by the station staff.
After passing through the bamboo grove and tunnels of Sagano, the scenery of the valley appeared, and the passengers were taking pictures and waving their hands to the outside.
According to the Sagano Scenic Railway, the number of users last year dropped to 30% of the peak due to the influence of the new corona, and from next month we are applying to the Transport Bureau to raise the adult fare by about 40% to 880 yen. increase.
Driver Yusuke Terashima said, "This time, the train has resumed operation due to the corona disaster, but the train runs in nature with clean air, so I want you to enjoy it with confidence."
