Randen (Keifuku Electric Railroad)
The Keifuku Randen Tram Line is operated by the private company Keifuku Electric Railroad. The Randen actually consists of two lines in the west of Kyoto city. The Arashiyama Line runs east-west from Shijo-Omiya Station to Keifuku Arashiyama Station. The Kitano Line branches from the Arashiyama Line at Katabiranotsuji Station and runs north to Kitano Hakubaicho Station.
The Tramway takes riders from central Kyoto to Arashiyama and sightseeing spots in northwestern Kyoto (Toei Kyoto Studio Park, Ninna-ji Temple, etc.).
