philosopher's walk

Philosopher's Walk (Tetsugaku-no-michi) in Kyoto, Japan is a scenic stone path that follows a cherry-tree-lined canal for about 2 kilometers. It connects Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) in the north to the Nanzen-ji temple area in the south.

The path gets its name from Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers, who used to walk this route daily for meditation.
