Kyoto - Start your walk on the Philosophical Road


The way of philosophy cherry blowing snow time

This is my usual walk, but also the strong push of the cherry blossom, even if the cherry blossom season only one day left for Kyoto, please come here to see.
The trail got its name from Keihiro Nishida, a professor of philosophy who often came here to walk and ponder philosophy.

What is different from other sakura appreciation names is that both sides of the water of the Philosophical Way are interspersed with Ryoi Yoshino sakura (more than 500 trees) and maple trees. Every spring, you can enjoy pure white cherry blossoms and fresh green maple leaves at the same time. When the sakura blossoms are full of snow, you can also enjoy the scenery of falling sakura into a blanket.


The Way of philosophy is named after the philosopher Kitaro Nishida who often comes here for a walk to ponder the philosophy of life. This also makes it a favorite place for locals to walk, and it is said that walking here can make people more focused and inspired

The Philosophy Road is about 2 kilometers long, and both sides of the road are planted with Seki Snow cherry and Ryoi Yoshino cherry. During the cherry blossom season, you can also see many dressed up Japanese old ladies come here to enjoy the cherry blossom, the whole picture looks very warm!

Every year in March and April, it becomes the most beautiful cherry blossom trail in Kyoto. Standing under the cherry tree, watching the cherry petals fall with the wind, as if under a cherry snow...

Because the drain of the philosophical path is very narrow, the cherry blossoms will not scatter in the river, and the flow rate is relatively slow. You can sit on a stone chair by the river and enjoy the raft slowly. (はないかだ in Japanese, the cherry blossoms fall on the water and float away in a band, like a raft.)

The Way of Philosophy is in the northeast corner of Kyoto, from three or four to about 15min by bus, a total length of nearly 2km, connecting the Ginkakuji Temple and the Wakoji Shrine, along the way there are maple leaf Namsoo Yongguan Hall (my heart ranked first in maple trees), Daetoshi Shrine, Lingjian Temple (camela-Namsoo), Faranyuan and so on. It is a popular spot every year during the cherry blossom and red leaf seasons.

I think this place is more suitable for walking than Kamagawa, and there are different scenery all year round. There is a philosophy of "cherry snow" in Kyoto
The Way of Philosophy is one of the places I must visit during the cherry blossom season!

The most popular takoyaki in Dotonbori, Osaka

To Japan how can not eat Takoyaki, see the queue to know to the first popular store door queue up to half an hour to stand on the side of the road to eat, clever I directly ask into the store there is no place directly to sit and eat is not sweet?

I didn't have to stand in line, I scanned the order, I had a menu in English, I ordered the signature big takoyaki, and I also ordered the Surprise Takoyaki, each with a huge piece of octopus leg, which was served directly on the iron plate, and the staff would tell me not to squeeze the mayonnaise sauce on the iron plate. I'm gonna put the takoyaki on a plate and then squeeze the sauce and sprinkle the katsuki. The store has air conditioning blowing, sitting tasting, why stand outside hot and hard to wait
