I had 1 question regarding the Sagano Romantic Train.
I stay near Omiya Station.
so I plan to walk to Nijo Station and take JR Train to Kameoka Torokko Station, and take the Sagano Train, travel to Torokko Arashiyama Station, then from there go Bamboo Forest, Tenryuji Temple and Lunch at Taishou Hanana Restaurant.

is this arrangement correct ar?
what I confuse is, I paid 240Yen to travel to Kameoka Torokko Station, and take the train back to Arashiyama.. seems like wasting money huh @.@

thank you so much~!
