KYOTO WALKS
The best things in Kyoto are reserved for those willing to walk. So try walking at leisure through some small parts of Kyoto simply to savor the atmosphere and life of the city. Given below are some of our suggested routes.
ALONG THE OLD CANAL (North-east Area/Ginkaku-ji Temple – Eikan-do Temple – Nanzen-ji Temple)
City bus No.5 (Bus Stop A-1 at the bus terminal in front of JR Kyoto Station), No.17 (Bus Stop A-2), No.100 (Bus Stop D-1)
from Kyoto Sta. Get off at Ginkakuji-michi. (¥230)
Time required for walking: about 50min.
This is a pleasant city stroll following the old canal, lined with cherry trees, between Ginkaku-ji Temple and Nanzen-ji Temple.
Local scholars call the little alley flanking the canal “The Path of Philosophy.”
