  • Cherry Blossoms
This is a path along the canal from Kumano Nyakuo-ji Shrine, Sakyo district to Honenin Temple at the foot of Mt. Higashi and is about 1.5 kilometers long. It has been chosen as one of Japan’s 100 best roads. It is said that Kitaro Nishida, a philosopher, walked around here was absorbed in meditation, and therefore this path has been named the Path of Philosophy. In spring, a tunnel of cherry blossoms is created by the Kasetsu Cherry, and the petals flowing gracefully with the water of the canal present an elegant scene.
