哲学の道

Before you go

The Philosopher's Path encompasses the roughly 2-kilometer canal path from Nyakuoji Bridge to Jodoji Bridge. In 1969, the Tetsugaku-no-Michi Preservation Society was formed, with 'Hosho' meaning the preservation of scenic areas.

• Canal Pathway: A walking path stretching approximately 2 kilometers along the canal between Nyakuoji Bridge and Jodoji Bridge.
• Seasonal Canal Foliage: Plants lining the pathway including Japanese Iroha maples, enkianthus, and azaleas.
