Indeed, the most obvious place to go during Sakura time, and not a hidden spot by any means. Still, you owe it to yourself to see this canal in the cherry blossom at least once in your lifetime.
This two kilometer path starts in Ginkaku-ji in the north and ends in Nanzen-ji in the south. It is named after a Kyoto University philosopher, Nishida Kitaro, who used this path to commute daily from his home to the university.
Walk through this narrow canal, pass by small bridges, and visit the temples and shrines along it. It is so magical that you won’t regret visiting, although you most definitely won’t be alone there. Well, this place did not become a popular spot for no reason!
