Nanzenji is a major Rinzai Zen temple known for its grand gate and the red-brick aqueduct built during the Meiji era. The archways surrounded by seasonal trees create a stunning backdrop, especially during autumn. Walking through its grounds offers a peaceful glimpse into Kyoto’s Zen heritage and natural beauty.

Set in a beautifully renovated Kyoto townhouse, this café offers carefully brewed specialty coffee. Let’s take a cup to go and enjoy it as we stroll along the Philosopher’s Path. It’s a lovely way to experience the local rhythm, just like the Kyotoites do.
