Kyoto had been the capital city of Japan for almost 1000 years. Since the Buddhist temples require a peaceful and silent area for the meditation, in early 20 centuries, a professor from Kyoto University creates the Philosopher Path or Tetsugaku no Michi. As the name implied, this place is quite suitable for people to think and regain his self-purification. Furthermore, the cherry blossoms tree along the path will highlight the beauty and purity.
