I spent a blissfully peaceful day in Kyoto just after New Year strolling along the Philosopher's Path. I wrapped up warm, sat on benches and let nature relax me. I watched the slow movement of the canal water and listened to the song of a distant bird. If ever there was an idyllic spot for mindfulness, the Philosopher's Path in winter must surely be it. If you want to know 'is Kyoto good for New Year', 'what is the most beautiful area of Kyoto' or 'what temples should I see in Kyoto', this podcast might give you a few answers, especially if you want to see some quieter places away from the main tourist trail.
