Tram The classic city tram system in Kyoto closed in the 1970s. In the mid-20th century, Kyoto had an extensive tram network connecting all parts of the city and running throughout the grid of major city streets. Currently, there are 2 separate systems in Kyoto, conditionally classified as trams, operated by different operators, but part of the same Keihan group of companies. These tram systems operate in the format of a "small urban railway," according to railway rules, but have sections on a shared roadbed with the street and road network. [*] Eizan Railway (Eiden).
