Philosopher's Path

Kitaro Nishida, a 20th century philosophy professor at Kyoto university is said to have taken daily meditative walks on this cherry tree-lined canal in Kyoto. It took me about 30 minutes to walk the path (each way) this morning. Tourists and local school kids flock to this path later in the day so best to get an early start. The path follows a canal between Nanzen-ji and Ginkaku-hi temples.
