Higashiyama (Eastern Mountains), Kyoto.
The Philosopher's walk is a pleasant stroll path that runs alongside a canal in the shadow of the eastern mountains between Ginkaku-ji temple (the Silver pavilion) and the Nyakuoji bridge. It passes very close to Anraku-ji temple and Honen-in temple, two quiet and picturesque temples that are less visited than Ginkaku-ji temple.
The Walk is renowned across Japan for its beautiful spring cherry blossoms, which overhang the path like a canopy. The path was a favourite place for several well-known figures, including the famous philosopher Nishida Kitaro. @visit_kyoto
