Eizan train (Kurama Line)

A view train "Kirara" is popular! Eizan train at the autumn when I go up to a topic centering on SNS

The Eizan train which enjoys by a nickname of "Eiden (I get it and don't come.)" from a local way is the traffic artery where a mountain ties deep Yase and side horse area originated at Demachiyanagi (and, town willow) station in Kyoto city Sakyo-ku. When I take Keihan Line from "Gion-shijo Station" close to Kawaramachi with which a department store compares to Demachiyanagi Station, it's convenient. When taking a train for Demachiyanagi Station and going to a last stop, trains are changed to Demachiyanagi Station of Eiden.

All down trains stop from Demachiyanagi Station to Takaragaike station of 5 station eye. I split up into the Kurama Line which goes to a side horse district from Takaragaike station and the Eizan Main Line which goes to Yase Hiei-Zan district. I'll introduce Kurama Line dotted with many landmarks of colored leaves in an area along a railway line to the center this time.

It's better to take a local train and leave for an excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves, but if I get on Eiden in colored leaves season, a ride to a view train "Kirara" is recommended.

It's the feature to adopt a big glass window so that Kirara can enjoy the scenery into which an area along a railway line changes fully. 8 seats around the center are for outside soon at all 29 seats, and a change in a car window can be enjoyed while relaxing. Moreover it's also a point that you can usually take it only by a fare. It isn't necessary to be seat reservation.

8 seats around the center are popular Kirara, but a popular one is the front view location which can draw near and be satisfied with reeled colored leaves furthermore. When I'd like to reserve popular boarding point, I'd hope that you line up with Demachiyanagi Station in a starting station as rather early as possible.

The expression fascinating at night! The "tunnel of" colored leaves where it can be satisfied only from a car window

It's the "tunnel of" colored leaves which is between the Ichihara Station of an eye and the next Ninose Station 11 stations from Demachiyanagi Station that it's famous as a spot of colored leaves of Kurama Line in particular. About 280 are planted by about 250 m of section in a Japanese maple, a mountain maple and a maple, and indeed the state with which colored leaves cover on the railroad track seems to be a tunnel. A train will run through the space where a word as flamboyant autumn was wrapped in suitable colored leaves.

During passing a tunnel of colored leaves, if the beautiful landscape is put back it's recommended to get on the front view point of view immediately behind the driver's seat. It's possible to approach and take a picture of reeled colored leaves. When taking a picture by a video mode for the front around the part of connection in the train, it's possible to catch in the car and colored leaves panoramically, and you can take a picture of the state on which warm color of red, orange and yellow floats.

I also recommend night when the expression from which a tunnel of colored leaves is different is shown for a ride to Kirara. It'll be lit up until sunset-around 21 o'clock in ordinary year November. The train which goes through a tunnel of colored leaves during a period puts out the light in the car, slows down and runs between going slowly, and it can be satisfied with the colored leaves which are fanned into shine and float on darkness in the evening.

The point of colored leaves you're also enjoying behind the tunnel of colored leaves. Ninose Station has a large maple tree so that a station building may be watched, and you can make do for a tunnel light up period of colored leaves, and it's colored more beautifully by special illumination production.

It's expected to light up the next Kibuneguchi Station, and the colored leaves which float on darkness in the evening can be appreciated from a car window and contest of a train and colored leaves can be appreciated from a home.

The "Kibune Shrine light up of colored leaves" by which the fire burns in a garden lantern of stone steps in Omotesando

"Kibune Shrine" enshrined in a place by Kifune which is also called "drawing room in the back in a capital" for more than 1300. It's the popular famous place where 1 or 2 is contested even in the spot with which a Kurama Line area along a railway line is dotted. The company area which spreads in the mountains follows with "Honmiya" "association" "Okumiya" in turn from the base, and it's possible to judge contest in shrine building as colored leaves in autumn when the trees in a mountain wear the color. The state of the colored leaves with which I cover stone steps in Hongu Omotesando is famous in particular, and even many media are taken up.

"Kibune Shrine Light up of colored leaves" is put into effect from dusk to 20:30 in colored leaves season every year. The fire is on in a garden lantern in Omotesando stone steps, and colored leaves are surfaced in darkness in the evening. Gentle shine wraps a precinct in Hongu, and it's possible to see the fantastic state further.

Eizan train (Kurama Line) area along a railway line Spot(2) Kurama-dera of colored leaves

The Kurama-dera precinct held in Kuramayama is a treasure house of a spot of colored leaves.

The deep temple of history where you assume that Minamotono Yoshitsune in boyhood (Ushiwaka-maru) trained himself for Hoki yuan (770) annual foundation and transmitted "Kurama-dera". It's found even to be able to enjoy an excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves at various places at the wide precinct held in Kuramayama. The form that vermilion Niomon Gate where it's at the place which is immediately towers with its back to colored leaves retires from Kurama Station, and is one of the landmarks I'd like to photograph by all means. When the southern course looked in from the main shrine neighborhood again is also beautiful, it's famous. The Hiei-Zan which sits down across Kuramayama can get a bird's-eye view of Mr. shou U in ginger.

Further, the distance which is to the extent Seisho Nagon recorded with "near, strike it, the winding question bran way of a far thing side horse" in "the Pillow Book" to the main shrine, from Niomon Gate (the required time for about 30 minutes). A cable car is running, so you can associate easily, but Sando is also the famous place where colored leaves can be enjoyed fully, so if I have enough room for time and physical strength, please taste flamboyant autumn on foot by all means.

Profitable ticket information on Eiden

I'll enjoy a tour with a profitable railroad ticket.

If it's surrounded a spot of colored leaves in a Eiden area along a railway line such as Kurama-dera, purchase of Eizan train One Day Pass "good ticket" (1200 yen for an adult and 600 yen for a child) is recommended. A local train including Kirara can get on and off many times, so it's very convenient. By the way, Ninose Station is adjustment in the car, from a train, at a home, as I get off, a fare is needed, but when having a good ticket, I don't also have the worry.

"Kyoto Rakuhoku forest and ticket for water" (Only an adult 1800 yen※ adult ticket is sold.) are recommended to the person who would like also to see the autumnal tints of the Kibune Shrine. The Kyoto bus by which Eizan train Entire Line is getting* north of the other Imade-gawa experts who become free (now, as the side) will be getting freedom. When it's about 2 km of ascent way, and I walk to from Kibuneguchi Station to the Kibune Shrine, it takes more than 20 minutes. Time to begin to tour can be reduced, and physical strength can also be kept, so a ride of a bus is recommended.

* The north and the Ginkaku-ji way-Hiei-Zan top are removed from side horse hot spring and Kodeishi (I'm here by O and do.)

Sagano Sightseeing Tram

I look at the colored leaves which get on tram and color a ravine.

Sagano Romantic Train is a sightseeing train by which Hozu-gawa river where managed "Sagano Sightseeing Tram" (in the following, tram) flows through a mountainous region of Nishibe of Kyoto city passes along a ravine. About 7 km of one way from the Torokko Saga Station which is a starting station on Kyoto city side to the Torokko Kameoka Station in Kameoka-shi is hung for about 25 minutes and it's run slowly. Spring is a full-blown cherry tree, and summer is fresh green, Ranzan Yuki estimated colors it and can be satisfied with the canyon's beauty of the each season in winter. Torokko Saga Station is next to JR Saga-arashiyama Station, so Direction from Kyoto station is also good.

The one by which it's also charm that about 1000 trees of colored leaves are planted in a Japanese maple, a mountain maple and a maple in an area along a railway line. When autumn deepens, red and the trees dyed yellow color a car window on the train vividly.

I go out of the Torokko Arashiyama Station, and it has very abundant highlights through Entire Line such as around Kameyama tunnel which is immediately and the neighborhood just before the Hozu-gawa river bridge where about 70 of colored leaves crowd. When a train faces a superb view spot, the consideration which moves slows down, and it's also a wonderful point. You can take a picture of brocade in Hozu-kyo from the inside on the train which stopped by Torokko Hozukyo Station of the way.

5 cars of tram is organization, and all seats are a reserved seat of the box specification, so the place where I'd like to be particular about seat election. Time when the right side of the direction looks at a ravine is long, so the train for Torokko Kameoka Station is popular. But, on whatever side of the left and right I sit down, the first half or the second half will be the side facing the colored leaves, so on whichever goal of colored leaves sits down, you can enjoy yourself. It's a box seat, so I also have a seat of direction and an opposite direction. You can look at the passed scenery comfortably from a backward seat, so when there is no worry of motion sickness, it's also recommended here.

The canyon's beauty which is windowless open rolling stock "the Ricci number" car 5 and is nen YURU YOU in autumn can be enjoyed by the five senses. A roof also becomes glazed, and when taking a picture of the autumnal tints and the blue sky which fell in a roof together, it's possible to take pleasant photograph.

Further, the Ricci numbers are a stave and rolling stock transparent to the floor, and one in case of rainy weather gets wet with rain. I'd hope that you prepare a raincoat beforehand because an umbrella doesn't make them do in the car. Even if colored leaves season clears up again, there is also a cold weather day, so I'll take it with the warm figure.

The "Ko's illusion train" lit up along a ravine

Even 16:30-last train runs between "illusion train of light" a period from autumn to winter. Done lighting apparatus is given to an area along a railway line and illuminations are given to the other Torokko Hozukyo Station and several point areas along a railway line which illuminate a tree of colored leaves and the mountains in an opposite shore fantastically.

The part is being sold to a reserved seat railroad ticket for tram in the order of arrival on the day at the desk of each station except for Torokko Hozukyo Station including "illusion train of light". But, it's recommended to buy a ticket for colored leaves season at preliminary reservation on the Internet and an On-line settlement for popularity very much. A reservation railroad ticket is being sold on the Web site of Sagano Romantic Train from 0:00 1 month before of the ride day (the same day in the previous month). There are purchase method, method of representing of a QR Code railroad ticket and information on precautions , so please check the official website for more information.

When a reserved seat ticket of the movement day (reserved seat of all seats) became still full including "illusion train of light", I stand around the entrance and do numerical sale of the standing room ticket on which you can get for a short while. Sale on a standing room ticket becomes sold-out in the time I went limit-up only at the local desk.

Sagano Sightseeing Tram area along a railway line Information of colored leaves/Boat Trip on the River Hozu

The going down a river by boat which is while looking at colored leaves is also recommended.

After even Torokko Kameoka Station in a last stop took it by tram, it flows through a ravine from the Hozu-gawa river upper reaches to Ranzan and the ship which has arrived place just before Togetsu-kyo Bridge, and the embarkation of "Boat Trip on the River Hozu" which gets off is recommended. The canyon's beauty of the colored leaves I have seen by tram can be enjoyed from a look near the surface of a river on the way back. During being on board, a boatman explains a point of colored leaves and a highlight of a strangely shaped rock, so the background information is unnecessary. After I go on board, about about 1/3, the superb view point as which many boatmen recommend Onabuchi in the place where they went down. When assigning the back by Mr. Boatman's sign and getting hen, the beautiful valley colored leaves spread in a ravine (colored leaves) can be appreciated.

It's possible to buy a boarding ticket of Boat Trip on the River Hozu at website of Hozu-gawa river pleasure boat in-house union in addition to the same-day ticket sold by the order of reception on the day. Use of the shuttle bus which departs (the adult of 350 yen and the child of 180 yen/required time for about 12 minutes) connects to departure and arrival of tram from Torokko Kameoka Station to Hozu-gawa River Boat Ride Boarding/Departure Area, and is convenient. Further, when reserving a boarding ticket, when a flight 1 hour later in Torokko Saga Station departure time (example: The boarding ticket by which Sagano is 9:02 10:00 when getting on number 1,) is suppressed, you can tour smoothly.
