Tips from the community
Known as Ginkaku-Ji, this breathtaking temple highlights the importance of aesthetics in ancient Shinto architecture. Stroll picturesque grounds, and take an incredible picture of this carefully preserved pavilion. Throughout the seasons Ginkaku-Ji is an excellent destination- sakura blossoms in spring, red leafy trees in fall, icy reflections in the winter, and crisp greenery in the summer.
