Hiking
The Kimono Forest is located right next to the train station. From there, you can easily take the Randen train back to the city. The train consists of only two carriages and is very colorful and playfully designed – with comics and cheerful motifs. I don't remember exactly what was on it, but it has a typically Japanese and very original feel. The Japanese love such charming, creative details.
I would definitely recommend this train instead of taking the often overcrowded bus, which takes over an hour for the journey.

Hiking
🚃 The Special Tram
Many visitors ride the charming Keifuku Randen Tram Line.
The trains often consist of only two cars and are frequently brightly colored, sometimes featuring comics or pop art motifs. This is precisely what makes them so typically Japanese – playful and a little nostalgic.
You can pay with a Suica card.
