In the 1960s, during the tourist seasons, special trains made up of six cars were operated from the Osaka district (following the relocation of Uji Station on June 17, 1995, the effective length of the station's platform was shortened, and since then the six-car trains haven't been able to proceed into the platform).
また1960年代には行楽シーズンに大阪側から6両編成の臨時列車が設定されていた（1995年6月17日の宇治駅移転でホームの有効長が短くなり、以後6両編成の宇治線への入線は不可）。
