The line uses superseded tracks of the Sagano Line (officially a portion of the San'in Main Line) of JR West, from {{STN|Torokko Saga}} in Arashiyama, and passes a gorge offering a scenic view along the Hozu River, then enters and terminates in the basin of Kameoka. It is closed on Wednesdays and in the winter. The line is locally known as "Torokko in Hozu gorge". Torokko is a Japanese word derived from the English "truck" once used for mining cars hauling ore, but presently means rail carriages basic accommodation and open sides. DescriptionCompany
Line
HistoryConstruction of the lineThe line was originally a part of the main line of the {{Nihongo|Kyoto Railway|京都鉄道|Kyōto Tetsudō}} opened in 1899, to connect Kyoto to the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, or the old province of Tanba. The company adopted the relatively level route through the gorge, avoiding {{Nihongo|Oinosaka|老の坂}} pass which would have required a steep grade. The company was nationalized in 1907. The line became a part of the San'in Main Line. BypassJR West, succeeding the Japanese National Railways (JNR), built a new, shorter, straighter, electrified double-tracked section of the Sanin Main Line between Saga (present {{STN|Saga-Arashiyama}}) and {{STN|Umahori}} which opened in 1989, bypassing the original winding route with narrow tunnels. SuccessJR West utilised the original line for tourism under a subsidiary founded in 1990. JR West used old rolling stock for this purpose; four semi-open coaches hauled by a diesel locomotive. By 1991, the line was more popular than expected (there had been speculation that the venture would be unsuccessful). As a result, a fifth carriage, nicknamed {{Nihongo|"The Rich"|ザ・リッチ}}, was introduced. The car is contrary to its name, converted from an old gondola of JR West to fully open carriage, even the floor and the sides are of fine grills and offers a rough ride. Combined with rafting on the Hozu River, it is a major tourist attraction in Arashiyama and Sagano. OperationAll trains are operated between Torokko Saga and Torokko Kameoka stations. All seats are reserved, and tickets (JPY 600 for adult and JPY 300 for child, as of 2006) are on sale one month prior to the operation with some exceptions. Some are sold on the day, but travel in "The Rich" is not available on rainy days. Down (for Kameoka) trains cater for a return journey via the Hozu River boat ride to Arashiyama, thus up trains are generally less patronised. StationsExcept Torokko Kameoka is in Kameoka, all stations are in Kyoto.
Rolling stockAs mentioned above, all are JR West origin. Daily and minor maintenance is carried out at Torokko Saga, while heavy maintenances in JR West facility. Liveried in red, yellow and black, explained as a typical colour set to infer Kyoto.
