Kyoto - day 2 - Philosopher's path

Our final visit of the day was to the Path of Philosophy. This meant a metro journey and then a long bus ride in rush hour traffic to get there.

By the time we arrived it was gone 5pm and so the temples in the area were closed. Nevertheless, we spent a present half hour walking along the path and philosophising! 😂

The path runs alongside a canal and at this time of year in particular I'd lined with cherry blossom so it was a really pretty walk, punctuated with a refreshment break two thirds of the way along!

Having walked our feet off we decided to get a taxi back to the hotel where we freshened up before walking back to the Pontocho area for food. We went to a steak place this evening where we had Kobe and Wagyu beef. Sadly there were no chips!

To end the evening we met up with two of the other people who had been on the bar tour in Osaka, Kayla and Connor. We had a few drinks with them in a bar before walking back to the hotel.Read more
