Want to step right into a scene from Spirited Away? A section of the Miyazu Line on the Kyoto Tango Railway crosses a scenic sea railway bridge. As the train travels along this single-track bridge, passengers are greeted by endless ocean views on both sides—mirroring the iconic moment when Chihiro and No-Face ride the train to visit Zeniba in the movie. This spot always draws crowds eager to snap photos.

The Kyoto Tango Railway has gained some popularity among Taiwanese travelers for its sightseeing trains “Akamatsu” and “Aomatsu.” It also serves as a vital transport link between Nishi-Maizuru and Miyazu Amanohashidate. Passengers can not only enjoy the meticulous design of rail planner Eiji Mitooka aboard these scenic trains but also experience the cinematic landscapes straight out of Spirited Away.
As the train prepares to depart from Tango-Kanzaki Station en route to Tango-Yura Station, it crosses the Yura River Railway Bridge. To allow passengers to fully appreciate the sparkling beauty of the Yura River, the train slows down and moves gently forward. On clear days, passengers can see through the windows how the single-track bridge divides the sea in two, with azure waters flowing calmly beneath—a serene and tranquil scene that can only be truly felt while riding the train.
