Overview

Come with us for a half-day walking tour to discover the Silver Pavilion and its beautiful surroundings. We begin at the Suirokaku Viaduct, a symbol of Japan’s 19th-century modernization where human engineering meets nature. We then visit Nanzen-ji, a serene 13th-century Buddhist temple known for its Zen garden. Next, we follow the scenic Path of Philosophy, once walked by philosopher Kitarô Nishida, linking Nanzen-ji to the Silver Pavilion. Our tour ends at this elegant 15th-century temple, admired for its simplicity, architecture, Zen garden, and city views. A perfect blend of history, tranquility, and natural beauty.
