The Philosopher’s Path (Sakyo ward, Kyoto city)
The Philosopher’s Path, “Tetsugaku no Michi” in Japanese, is a charming pedestrian route located in Sakyo ward of Kyoto city that stretches for around 2 kilometers along the Lake Biwa Canal among stunning natural scenery.
As Professor Nishida Kitaro commuted to Kyoto University daily, the path received its name from the philosopher who walked it for meditation.
420 cherry trees line the path, making it a pleasant walk.
Many tourists come to see the scenery during the day, but fewer in the early morning.
The peak bloom: last March – early April.
With any luck, it is possible to see a raft of cherry flowers at the end of the blossoms.
Every year, locals look forward to seeing it.
