Philosopher's Walk, Kyoto

After visiting Nanzen-Ji Temple, I followed a path along a narrow canal called Philosopher's Walk. It was about a mile long.

There where many cats, none of which where skittish. I could get close to them to photograph them.

There where many homes with elaborate gardens along the path, and a mausoleum.

This is someone's backyard.

This strong guy courted young girls to carry them old-style, pulling them on his cart. In my opinion, it must be a hard sell, unless the girls want to marvel at his strength.
