This privately-operated railway runs from Demachiyangi in north-east Kyoto northwards to Kurama and Yase Hieizanguchi with a junction for both destinations at Takaragaike. The Railway operates 2-car trains towards Kurama and single car trains to Hieizanguchi. During the autumn, special maple leaf viewing trains operate to Kurama and the highlights are a 'Maple Tree Tunnel' between Ichihara and Ninose stations as well as Kurama Temple and Mount Hiei accessible from the lines terminii where more autumn colours can be enjoyed. This video shot primarily from behind the driver gives a good view of the routes to both destinations.
