WITH THE EIZAN RAILWAY SIGHTSEEING TRAIN „HIEI“ TO THE SACRED MOUNTAIN
 Eizan Line (from Demachiyanagi to Yase-Hieizanguchi) started its operation in 1925 as a pilgrimage route to Hieizan Enryaku-ji temple. It has been loved by many locals and tourists together with Eizan Cable Car and Ropeway as important means of transportation from Kyoto city center to Mt Hiei. “Oval” motif boldly expresses the concepts of “Mystical atmosphere” and “Dynamism transcending time and space”. These concepts are exemplified by the two destinations of Eizan Railway lines, Mt.Hiei and Mt.Kurama, which hold solemn and sacred atmosphere, deep history, earth energy and power. The stripe patterns on the side of the train symbolize fog covering Mt.Hiei. The destination signage on its exterior is displayed in four languages, including Japanese, English, Korean, and Chinese.
Eizan Railway consist of Eizan Main Line which links to the foot of Mt Hiei, and Kurama Line heading to Mt.Kurama branching halfway from the main line. Fall colors along the line are the main attraction every year but other than autumn season, it becomes a task as to how to attract tourist to the spot. One car train HIEI, remodeled from existing vehicle transformed itself into an all-season attraction tourist train of Rakuhoku area. The two spiritual Mount Hiei and Mount Kurama of Eizan Railway are each symbolized by circle and linked together to form the iconic Ellipse element of the exterior and interior. HIEI not only serves as everyday commuter train to the local but also provides extraordinary travel experience for tourist to travel back in time from modern Kyoto to the ancient sacred mountain.
Radical design of the mystical green Eizan Railway HIEI Train won 2018 Good Design Award.
