Japan Photo of the Week: Philosopher’s Path

Finally, March! March is when a lot of Japan begins to see the blooming of cherry blossom trees. It is still a little early in March, but I thought I would share with you some of my favorite spots in Japan to see cherry blossoms. Today I give you the Philosopher’s Path, in Kyoto.

I have been to Kyoto upwards of 10 times and have been during all seasons. Without a doubt, during cherry blossom season, the Philosopher’s Path is at its best. To be honest, it really isn’t so impressive during the other times of the year, and sure it gets a little crowded, but trust me, it is a must see when the sakura are in full bloom. To see a lot more photos of cherry blossoms and the philosopher’s path, take a look at the the gallery.

This photograph was taken by Evan Pike.
