Ginkakuji, the popular tourist spot in Kyoto

#getgoing2025 The official name of Ginkaku-ji Temple is Higashiyama Jisho-ji Temple, and it is a beautiful temple where the Ginkaku (Kannon-den), which embodies simplicity, the aesthetics of Wabi, and the beauty of the dry lightness based on the spirit of Zen of Higashiyama culture, is reflected on the water. Kannon-den, the only existing tower building from the Muromachi period, is also designated as a national treasure. Of course, the highlight of Ginkaku-ji Temple is not only Kannon-den. In front of the abbot, there are gardens that are popular as photo spots, such as "Ginshadan" with a beautiful three-dimensional white sand pattern and "Mukozukidai" shaped into a conical platform.
