📍Tetsugaku no Michi (Philosopher's Path) Kyoto Visit Review

The Philosopher's Path, a famous walking trail in Kyoto, was impressive for its quiet and peaceful atmosphere. 🌿 Approximately 2km long, it stretches from Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) to Nanzen-ji Temple, following a canal. Cherry trees line both sides of the path, transforming it into a cherry blossom-lined path in spring and a lush foliage-lined path in autumn, offering a different charm each season. Overall, the path lacks commercial elements and offers a tranquil and calming atmosphere, making it perfect for a solo stroll.

Small cafes, souvenir shops, and galleries dot the path, making it a great place to stop for a break. ☕️ As I walked along the waterway, I heard the sounds of birdsong and the wind, allowing me to feel close to nature even in the city. While there were plenty of tourists, the walk was quiet and peaceful. On days with good weather, I also saw many locals enjoying bike rides and walks.

Overall, the trail is flat and easy to walk, making it easy to explore the entire area in about 30-40 minutes. It's a great place to visit if you want to experience Kyoto's unique, tranquil atmosphere or simply enjoy a quiet escape from the crowded tourist areas. 🚶♀️✨

📍 Address: Jotoji Ishibashi-cho ~ Ginkaku-ji-mae, Shirakami Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture
