From Ginkakuji Temple to Eikando Temple - Take a philosophical approach to see autumn maples

The Path of Philosophy was originally just a walking trail along the canal that was built in 1890 when Lake Biwa water was introduced to Kyoto. However, from the Meiji to Showa periods, many famous Kyoto University philosophers lived near this trail. , also likes to walk on this path, and over time it has been called the Philosophical Trail. This walking path was later renamed the Philosophical Path.

There are many woods planted along this philosophical path, and it is also a popular place for tourists to visit in spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Compared with other autumn maple attractions, the maple trees on Philosophy Road are not too dense (but definitely not many!), but the quiet environment, coupled with the sound of slowly flowing water, reminds me of the many philosophers who have meditated here. The feelings are still intoxicating here. This walking trail has also been selected as one of the "Top 100 Ways of Japan". In addition, there are many unique restaurants and grocery stores in the surrounding area. It can be said that on the way to and from Ginkakuji Temple and Eikando, two must-see attractions, It’s the icing on the cake.

If you are a cat lover, there are often "philosophical cats" on the Philosophy Road. Beautiful scenery and cute cats can add some special scenery to your photo album! You can also visit some specialty shops along the way, such as going to "Qingyu Rice Ball" to buy a few handmade rice balls and sit on the benches on the Philosophy Road, watching the scenery and tasting delicious food. It is also a kind of enjoyment.
