Tetsugaku No Michi
Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
The path of contemplation, the path of philosophy
It is said that a long time ago, a Japanese philosopher often took a walk on this road. It's also a nice place to walk along the small waterfront under the wooded path. The promenade is well established, and there are cute little cafes and shops around, so if you walk around once, time passes quickly.
As the name suggests, you want to walk slowly and contemplate, but it is easy to walk because the cherry blossoms are in full bloom during the most famous spring season. If you visit in other seasons, it is better to walk a little more leisurely.
(Instead, if you visit early in the spring to avoid the crowds, you can see a really beautiful cherry blossom road, and after that, you can see a small waterside covered with cherry petals.)
The entire road is about 2km long, so it would be better to enjoy a short walk while visiting the most famous Silver Pavilion in this area rather than walking the whole path.
