The Randen is a tram system in Kyoto city, Japan. It has street running area about 1.7km.
Many tourists uses Randen to go to major tourist spots. For example, Arashiyama, Koryuji Temple, Tenryuji Temple, Toei Kyoto Studio Park, etc.
Randen has two lines totaling 11.0 km. This movie is the main line A "Arashiyama Line" from Shijo-Omiya to Arashiyama and line B "Kitano Line" from Katabiranotsuji to Kitano-Hakubaicho in 2011. Line B usually needs to be changed at the Katabiranotsuji station. But during tourist season, a through train runs from Arashiyama to Kitano-Hakubaicho. This movie contains such a through train.
The Type MOBO21 is operated by the driver without a conductor. It has twin 44.8kW motors of nose suspension drive, and the straight air brake system with emergency valve. MOBO21 was manufactured from old tram's electrical component and new body in 1994. It features its monitor-roof looking exterior and a retro-flavored structure.
The Type MOBO101 is operated by the driver without a conductor. It has twin 44.8kW motors of nose suspension drive, and the straight air brake system with emergency valve. MOBO103 was manufactured from old tram's electrical component and new body in 1975.

I was just on this tram a couple of weeks ago. It is really as nice as is shown in the video. The motor makes a sound reminiscent of the trams of the '40s - in fact, this line dates from 1942. The conductor is in a neat uniform, and when he enters the car, he bows to the passengers. The Arashiyama station is beautiful, with cherry blossoms (as of when I was there) and small stalls with things to eat.

Wonderful cab driver's view! Well done!

I am so impressed by this. Firstly I love looking at the architecture, then the scenes of everyday life as the tram passes by. In Kyoto I especially like the appearance of the tram - maybe somewhat old style but that is great for me - the drivers in their white shirts and ties always standing up - trams running on time no doubt. Japanese efficiency. And catering for the tourists by having the station information in English is an absolute bonus. Well done Kyoto. Many thanks for posting from Australia

Really loved the sound of the air compressor running. It resembles of vintage trams from the 1950"s.....

It looks more like a light rail train than a tram, with most of the line enclosed between fences

Tramways are often on private right-of-way to prevent encroachment on the line.

Belle vidéo 👍. C'est très différent des tramways européens (design des véhicules, signalisation) mais avec l'éfficacité japonnaise. Merci aussi pour les annonces bilingues. Amitiés de Belgique 🤗

Have a look for Robert Schwandl Verlag. He has some interesting guides to trams and metros in Japan.

I love this tram very much (the tram driver's front view is always the best). Excellent job of placing the info in the description, but It would've been so cool if you've added the names of each station the tram stops at in the video :-)

@nanba25 7 жыл бұрын

I agree, it's lacking in most videos about trams and underground cabride ; after 2 or 3 stops, you don't know anymore where you are, even with the vocal announcement

@brianb8516 3 жыл бұрын

I often pull up Google maps when watching these videos and follow the line in satellite view

It is rear entrance step sensor's alarm. When passenger stands by the door, the alarm informs driver.

Everthing is very very clean. But ugly. No nice houses, no interesting buildings.

@Rick James It is very nice and clean. But the villages and towns, in general, are not interesting nor beautifull.

@angelromero9635 3 жыл бұрын

@Rick James Well. In my opinion the japanese towns and villages are not beautifull. Everthing is very chaothic and you don't see any architectonic rule anywhere. They have not interesting buildings nor houses. It is not a famous country for the beauty of its streeets. The country is, in the other side, wonderful? Very probably. I don't know. What is nice for me? My son
