Randen Train and Arashiyama
One day in Kyoto, I bought the Randen Train pass. The trains were old fashioned and interesting looking.
I got on the train at Sai, went to Arashiyama on the red line, came back and had lunch (zaru soba) at Katabiranotsuji, then took the blue line to Kitano Hakubaicho and back to my starting place, getting off and on where ever I wanted.
The Arashiyama station area was crowded with tourists, but some of the other stops were less crowded. I don't know the names of the places.
I think this is Rokuoin Temple.
This small temple was not open, but there was a small door that was open.
Kyoto has so many interesting places to explore.

Lots of fabulous photos, Pamela. It looks like quite a trip.
You had a great day out, lots to see along that train line.
You do visit some amazing places Pam.
I like Ran-Den! It's an old fashion train.
There are many mysterious place in Kyoto,even for Japanese people.
those "old fashioned trains" are how they all looked when I was growing up in Japan so they look wonderful to me! Well,I don't remember any with manga on the sides. Makes me a little natsukashi (nostalgic)....
also, I admire how you squeeze every little bit out of your trips and all the things that are around you.
The old trains look really cute!
Lots of beautiful stops along the way.
You are just having a grand time exploring! And it’s such bounty for those of us who are arm chair travelers! Thanks for sharing.
Pamela: What fun it would be to get on a train and stop just to explore.
I am happy you had an enjoyable day.
