# Sagano Romantic Train

Rich-go, the fifth car, is the highlight: a glass roof overhead, a metal-grate floor and a ride a little faster than a bicycle. The line's eight tunnels are pitch dark. A 3-year-old and a 5-year-old found them exciting, while a 2-year-old stayed straight-faced. At Saga Station, where the ride starts, a steam locomotive stands on display in the 19th Century Hall. Next door is the Diorama Kyoto JAPAN, one of western Japan's largest model railways. So the ride is the main event, and the station fills the waiting time.
