The Philosopher's Walk, or 哲学の道 (Tetsugaku no Michi), is a canal-side path running through the east side of Kyoto. To my mind, it's by far the most pleasant place in an often ugly and crowded city.
Fish in the canal.

The Philosopher's Path (哲学の道, Tetsugaku no michi) is a pleasant stone path through the northern part of Kyoto's Higashiyama district.
Approximately two kilometers long, the path begins around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and ends in the neighborhood of Nanzenji. The path gets its name due to Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers, who was said to practice meditation while walking this route on his daily commute to Kyoto University.
