Sanpo 散歩(する)　To take a walk or stroll. It's also written exactly the same in chinese an pronounced nearly the same. San bu (both falling tones) is 'take a walk' in chinese. (I'm studying Chinese along with Japanese and haven't come across many 2 character compounds yet that mean the same thing, are written the same and pronounced nearly the same.)
