It might just be more of a convolluted way of advertising Japanese Railways and other sights that you can see along the route XD There's an anime that follows a similar concept, it's a mix of telling the story of a Mangaka that goes on train journeys with a train nerd and showing off various interesting sight-seeing spots LOL (It's a nice and chill-out watch, if one is up for slice-of-life)
This game, of which Kyoto is the third in a series, was originally made for the 3DS, which I kind of feel was a better fit for what is a rather simplified rail sim that uses full motion video for its visuals. Before this, there was a series of FMV train games for the Pippin, PSP, PS2 and PS3, all from a company called Ongakukan, none of which left Asia from what I could find. Helps that the price I paid on the eShop for the series, was just £1.80 / ¥500 each (on sale).* Much more reasonable than the price they're trying to sell it on Steam/Switch/PS4. *Four from the European Store, four from the Japanese.
Simplified is definitely an understatement. I agree on 3DS this would make more sense, but as a PC release, its a little light on content. I do however love that I can stop time by not moving the train. That one makes me feel all powerful!

Awesome. That was way better than I expected lol
Was it though? How about if I point out that its almost $70 CDN on steam?
Sounds like a Trainwreck of a price ;)
It’s just a video simulator with buttons to fast forward and rewind it. I’ll stick with train sim world.
Your not wrong lol
