Do drop by if you are nearby in spring! The cherry blossom trees are plentiful and dense. Winds are strong too so be ready for petal rain!

The sloped railway line is near the Kyoto Metro East-West Line station (about a minute walk). It is a scrap railway that was originally shipped. Around 90 cherry blossom trees were planted on the second side of the line, forming a cherry blossom tunnel of more than 500 meters. Every year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, many tourists come to watch it. Especially those young girls who like animation are nostalgic here.

The abandoned railways and cherry blossoms are interspersed here, and the combination of rigid and softness complements many new Japanese couples taking wedding photos here. Tips: Although the entire railway is only more than 500 meters long and looks quite short, because the railway is covered with small gravel, it is full of malice for those of us wearing rafts. Please be careful with every step when you leave. Transportation: Kyoto Metro East-West Line-Sapporo Station is only a3-4 minute walk away. Free all day.

The scenery is pleasant, very good choice, I like this place very much!

interesting place

From the subway station to the East-West line 6 stations on the road to the Cuba. Out of Gate 1 is the slope. Cherry trees were planted on both sides of the railway slope. Cherry blossoms should look good when they are in full bloom. But we're still early, so we only saw a lot of cherry blossoms. From the slope to the bottom, we can reach Nanchan Temple, which is not far from Yinge Temple and the way of philosophy. This railway was not used to drive trains, but to transport materials when Japan built its first hydropower station. There is a memorial to a hydropower station just below the slope. If there's time here, it's worth spending some time.
