Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path
Bonson LamTake a stroll along Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path, a forest of cherry trees with plenty of temples and tea houses along the way.
Philosopher’s Path
The Philosopher's Path (哲学の道, Tetsugaku no michi) is a pedestrian path following a canal lined by cherry trees between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji. The path earned its name because an influential 20th century philosopher, Nishida Taro, is thought to have used it for daily meditation.
