The fall season's crisp air is blowing again, and we've been waiting for the autumn colors to appear. If you are finding unique way to appreciate the season with your loved ones, riding a vintage train while crossing the beautiful sceneries in Kyoto could make your trip even more memorable.
If you need more time, the sceneries are still equally beautiful in spring with the blooming wild cherry trees, or in the the welcoming chorus of cicadas in summer.
