For fans of Kyoto and/or trams, here's a video by HINTEL1824TRAIN of the Keifuku (Randen) Kitano Line. A nice ride overall, the line's main attraction in spring (other than the actual destinations :) ) is the 'sakura tunnel' which can be seen at the 9 minute mark, between Narutaki and Utano. Some people are close to the track! The line is 3.8km in length, and the earliest section opened in 1925. google map centered on Utano Station: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Utano+Station,+Kyoto+Prefecture,+Japan&hl=en&ll=35.024374,135.714669&spn=0.015165,0.024011&sll=35.026552,135.713897&sspn=0.030328,0.064373&oq=utano+stat&hnear=Utano+Station,+Kyoto+Prefecture,+Japan&t=m&z=16
