Philosopher's Walk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the footpath of the same name in Toronto, Canada, see Philosopher's Walk (Toronto).
The Philosopher's Walk (哲学の道 Tetsugaku no Michi) follows a cherry-tree-lined canal in Kyoto, between Ginkaku-ji and Nyakuōji-jinja. The route is so-named because a Kyoto University philosophy professor, Nishida Kitaro, is thought to have used it for daily meditation. It passes several temples and shrines such as Hōnen-in, Ōtoyo Shrine, and Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji.
