Mt Kurama was once famed for its cherry trees, though very few remain nowadays.
In Heian times the nobility would make the long trek to see the blossoms, and followers of Jōdo-shū nicknamed it the 'Pure Land North of the Capital' (洛北浄土)

The Path of Philosophy (哲学の道) runs between Nanzen-ji (南禅寺) and Ginkaku-ji (銀閣寺). It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route

11) Myōren-ji (妙蓮寺)
🤲The temple is known for its 'Oeshiki-zakura' (御会式桜 'Memorial to Nichiren Sakura'), a tree that appeared to miraculously bloom of the 13th day of the 10th month, the anniversary of Nichiren's (日蓮 1222-82) death. In reality it is a long blooming type.
