Japanese Tram/Streetcar
In 2016, I took the Kyoto Randen line without even thinking about it. I was just trying to get closer to Arashiyama area.
2018’s Japan trip really was the point where I started to understand many of the other train systems. After that, I made it a mission experience Japan’s various trains as much as possible.
Since I was traveling in big cities and sticking to the JR Pass and main lines that served my purpose in those areas, I didn’t realize that other modes of transportation around or they weren’t as visible.
This post is about the trams/trolleys/streetcars I have taken on my travels in Japan.
Trams/Streetcars/Trolleys are different in their own ways.
- This was truly when I put a lot of attention to trams. I took a few pictures and even got the map to take the tram to the shopping district.
- I took a couple different version!
Kumamoto
Visiting Kumamoto for the 1st time and right outside the station, the Streetcars were available.
Nagasaki Electric Tramway
This was my 2nd time in Nagasaki, but I would be spending a couple days there. Right outside of the JR Nagasaki station, you have access to the trams that lead you into some of the districts in town.
- I only took the Hiroden from Hiroshima to around the Castle and Peace Memorial park area.
Hiroshima Dentetsu
Keifuku Electric Railroad (Kyoto)
This tram I have taken a couple times before.
