Ginkaku-ji
This temple was built by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, as a villa called "Higashiyama-den". Along with Kinkakuji Temple, this temple is a pagoda temple outside of Shokokuji Temple (i.e., a hermitage built in a different location from the main temple after his retirement). After Yoshimasa's death, the temple was named Jishoji after his Buddhist name.
Ginkaku-ji feels more like you’re strolling through a beautifully refined garden, not the kind of place that blows you away at first glance.
Everything is calm and quiet, with less noise from other visitors. Once you’re inside, you naturally slow down.
