When there is a big event celebrated along the line, such as the Gion Festival, Uji-gawa River Fireworks Display and Tenjin Festival, the service is reinforced by operating special trains (or extending the operational section of regular trains), particularly at night.
他にも祇園祭、宇治川花火大会、天神祭など沿線で大きな催し物がある場合は特に夜間を中心に臨時列車（または定期列車の運転区間延長）が運転される。
