    Path of Philisophy & Honen-In

    March 21, 2018 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

    After exiting Ginkakuji, we saw a treelined path alongside a stream and we decided to walk along it. The walk was pretty and atmospheric. About 20 minutes into the walk, I realized that we had stumbled onto the Path of Philosophy without knowing it. Sadly, I didn't get any epiphanies or become any wiser while walking that path.

    We tried seeing a couple of shrines just off the path but they were closed. Close to the end of the path, we diverted to a road parallel to the path and stumbled across Honen-In, a beautiful temple set among pine trees.

    After exploring that temple, we made our way back to Ginkakuji, had a quick bite, and took bus route 100 for our next destination.
