quiet temple walks in kyoto | philosopher’s path, ginkaku-ji & slow city moments

Quiet temple walks in Kyoto along the Philosopher's Path. This video captures a calm day exploring some of Kyoto’s most atmospheric places. From the mossy temple grounds of Tō-ji Temple to the peaceful walk along the Philosopher's Path. After arriving from Sapporo and settling into our accommodation, we spend the next day slowly discovering Kyoto: visiting Ginkaku-ji, wandering along quiet temple paths, stopping at a small café and exploring the serene Ōtoyo Shrine. The day ends back in the city with a short walk through Gion and dinner in Kyoto. A calm travel film focused on atmosphere, slow movement and everyday moments in Japan.
