The Philosopher's Path is a lovely stone path that starts at Ginkakuji Temple ( Silver temple) and ends in the neighbourhood of Nanzenji. The path got 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.I was lucky to walk down the path in April of 2019 and again this April on my walk from the Silver temple, when the cherry blossoms were out. I had such a lovely couple of hours sitting and drawing this scene.
The path follows a canal which is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. Usually in early April these trees explode with color, making this one of the city's most popular hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots.
Approximately two kilometers long, the path begins around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and ends in the neighborhood of Nanzenji. The path got 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.
