Trip is advertised as a romantic train tour but is more akin to a semi-guided bus tour. The train ride shown is less than half an hour of the 9 hour experience, and depending on what side of the train you’re sat in will heavily depend on the view you experience. The locations they take you to are larger tourist hubs so it is very busy and crowded making it hard to keep up with your guide. There’s no history/storytelling tied to the tour, it’s mostly just dropping/guided to the locations and then released for “free time” that is usually limited to 30mins to an hour max which makes it difficult to truly see and get a feel for each location. Our guide Winnie was very friendly and fun to talk to, however you can tell she is rushed due to the strict timelines of the bus departures which are what dictates your time.

This trip was really lovely. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and kind and despite a few delays along the way due to traffic he still managed to make sure we had plenty of time at each stop.
One tip for people booking - the buffet lunch was not great for vegetarians. There are loads of restaurants and street food vendors around at the stop where the lunch is offered so I would suggest not booking the lunch at all and just eating there!!

This Sagano Tour has been excellent and well coordinated with our tour guide Natsu who is fluent in English and made our trip extra special and memorable.

The day tour should have been more exciting if not for the huge crowd of visitors & traffic. However, Japan is a very beautiful country. The locals are so polite.
