The beautiful stone path in northern Kyoto’s Higashiyama district connects two areas around the Silver Temple and Eikan-do (Zenrin-ji) Temple. It lines a pleasant canal, with hundreds of cherry trees, and is 2 kilometers long, making it a popular destination for a relaxing and peaceful walk that becomes especially beautiful during cherry blossom Hanami or autumn with its red maple leaves. The path is said to be named after the philosopher Nishida Kitaro, who meditated along the route daily on his commute to Kyoto University. Along the path, you can find restaurants, cafes, small temples, and shrines.

Basically, Philosopher's Path stretches between points A and B:

• A - Google maps location
