Passengers step off the train at the Tofuku-ji platform in central Kyoto

By late afternoon of Saturday's national holiday, Bunka no Hi (Culture Day), many of the sight-seers were tired and were resting. So the train was not overly crowded. After the dance between exiting and entering train passengers at the edge of the platform, the doors of the train close and off it goes to the next station. This station is about 1.5 or 2 km from the Sennyu-ji temple, tucked up on the side of the mountain.
