In my trip to Kyoto, Ginkaku-ji (officially known as Jisho-ji) left a deep impression on me. This 15th-century temple is renowned for its simple and elegant design, which stands in stark contrast to the opulence of Kinkaku-ji. Walking into the garden of Ginkaku-ji, surrounded by lush green trees and clear ponds, felt like stepping into a tranquil paradise. I strolled around, admiring the exquisite stone garden and moss-covered paths, feeling a sense of calm. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, reflecting on the water's surface, bringing a sense of serenity. The temple's architecture, with its simple wooden structure and intricate details, caught my attention, making me appreciate the aesthetics of traditional Japanese architecture.

#Fritabi #Kyoto #KyotoTourism #Ginkakuji #Ginkakuji #Nishinsoba 📍2 Ginkakuji-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🕰️Summer (March 1st to November 30th) 8:30am to 5:00pm Winter (December 1st to the end of February) 9:00am to 4:30pm 🪙Adults (high school students and above) 500 yen Elementary and junior high school students 300 yen Ginkakuji Temple, which I learned about as a child. Its official name is "Higashiyama Jisho-ji". It is said that the name Ginkakuji came from the Edo period, when it was called Ginkakuji in contrast to Kinkakuji. It originated from the mountain villa Higashiyamaden, built by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, and was named Jisho-ji after Yoshimasa's death. Yoshimasa, who succeeded to the position of shogun at the age of 15, spent his entire life projecting all of his own aesthetic sense into the temple and creating Higashiyama culture. In front of the Hojo (main hall), there is Ginshadan, a stepped pile of white sand, and the cone-shaped Kogetsudai. There are popular myths that Ginshadan was made to reflect the moonlight, and that Kogetsudai was used to sit on and wait for the moon to rise over Higashiyama. There is also a herring soba restaurant on the way to Ginkakuji. I was able to enjoy some unique Kyoto cuisine.

Ginkakuji temple Getting There - bus from kyoto station This is near to philosopher's path so do consider to visit if you intend to spend about half day in this area. Entrance fee of 500yen is needed. The temple is small but very very well kept. Once you paid the entrance fee, just follow the designated path to view the place. There are stairs so definitely not recommended for wheelchair users or people with walking disability #kyoto #japan

Ginkaku-ji or the temple of the silver pavilion, are popular names of Jishōji, an important subtemple of the Shōkokuji branch of Rinzai Zen Buddhism located in Kyoto. This villa was inspired by the golden pavilion and is definitely worth a visit. The surrounding garden is most beautiful, my second favourite after Kenroku-en! In recognition of its aesthetic and cultural value, Ginkaku-ji was designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1994. The route, a one way railed walk through the garden, takes about 30 mins to cover. The wooded grounds covered with a variety of mosses feel absolutely magical, as if a fairy will pop out from behind a tree any moment. At the very start of the route, you will be greeted by the famous sand garden which has sand piles which symbolize Mount Fuji - a beautiful and unique feature. Do not discard your ticket after your visit, you can hang it at the entry to your house as a good luck charm!

Ginkakuji Temple(銀閣寺) is located in Kyoto Japan and was built by Shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga(足利義政). The construction first started in 1482 and completed in 1490. It is Japan's national treasure as well as UNESCO World Heritage site, along with Kinkakuji Temple(銀閣寺). Not only is the temple beautiful, but the Japanese garden around it is well worth seeing. The view from the top of the stairs overlooks the city of Kyoto and allows you to relax and unwind. #kyoto #japan #kyoto #ginkakuji #temple #nationaltreasure #worldheritage

When you travel to Kyoto, many people go to Kiyomizu-dera, but I highly recommend Ginkaku-ji. Ginkaku-ji was a place that made me feel more at ease and was healing itself. You should set aside at least 1 hour to see all of Ginkaku-ji! It's bigger than you think! ✔️Admission hours 08:30-17:00 (December~February 09:00-16:30) ❣️Ginkaku-ji admission fee 500 yen If you visit each place, you will be able to feel the charm of Ginkaku-ji :) If you walk to the Philosopher's Path in front of Ginkaku-ji, you will feel the Japanese atmosphere and take pretty pictures. I actually took a lot of snapshots! #JapanTravel #OsakaSuburbs #KyotoTravel #Ginkaku-ji #Kyoto #Philosopher'sPath

📍Ginkaku-ji Temple (Ginkaku-ji) ⏱️Operating hours: 08:30~17:00 (December~February 09:00~16:30) 💵Admission: 500 yen Ginkaku-ji Temple was not covered in silver, but it had a unique atmosphere, and the garden and pond inside were beautiful!! Following the signs, I went up to the top of the Ginkaku-ji Temple's inner walking path and the view was also great! I recommend going up because it's not that high up to the top🙂 There is also a Philosopher's Path near Ginkaku-ji Temple, so it would be nice to go there too since it's nice to walk! #JapanTravel #KyotoTravel #Kyoto #Ginkaku-ji

#JapanTravel #Kyoto #KyotoTravel #Ginkakuji #JapaneseGarden The garden of Ginkakuji is beautiful no matter where you look! In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that I went to Japan to see gardens, but I have visited more than ten temples and gardens, and this is the garden of Ginkakuji that I personally consider to be in my top three. It is also called Ginkakuji! It is connected to the Philosopher's Path, so after visiting Ginkakuji, I went all the way down the Philosopher's Path and enjoyed the scenery and atmosphere. I walked past the Philosopher's Path and all the way to Nanzenji :-) There was also strawberry tanghulu? on the way down from the entrance of Ginkakuji, so I bought some, and the strawberries were very sweet, but they were delicious. It is a really beautiful garden! If you go to Kyoto, you should definitely visit. And I hope you can enjoy the scenery slowly :-) (Note: Walking the Philosopher's Path with a stroller may not be easy because the floor is rocky!) Address: 2-Ginakuji-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8402 Kyoto Prefecture Hours: 08:30-17:00 (December-February 09:00-16:30) Admission: 500JPY

"Ginkaku-ji Temple" is definitely one of the most familiar attractions in Kyoto and is often mentioned in the same breath as "Kinkaku-ji Temple". The official name of "Ginkakuji" is "Jishoji". It is said that the general "Ashikaga Yoshimasa" at that time wanted to build a villa comparable to "Kitazanden" (i.e. "Kinkakuji"), so he built "Higashiyamaden". After the death of "Ashikaga Yoshimasa", his descendants converted "Higashiyamaden" into a temple, namely "Jishoji". The Guanyin Hall of "Jishoji" was called "Ginkaku", and because of its correspondence with "Kinkakuji", it became the general name of "Ginkakuji". Although it is called the "Silver Pavilion", it is not as magnificent as the "Kinkaku-ji Temple". One theory is that the temple is not covered with silver foil because of financial constraints, while another theory is that there was no plan to use silver foil from the beginning of its design. However, the actual reason is unknown. Although there is no silver foil on it, it does not detract from its beauty. The Silver Pavilion can be divided into two areas, the mountain and the foot of the mountain. The garden at the foot of the mountain is centered on the Kinkyō Pond. In addition to the Guanyin Hall, the Silver Sand Beach and the Moon-facing Platform by the pond are also eye-catching. From the garden, you can walk along the mountain path to the observation deck, where you can have a panoramic view of the temple grounds. The beauty of the garden is further enhanced by the autumn leaves. The last thing to mention is of course the "Silver Pavilion", which has an elegant and simple architectural style. The underground floor is a building similar to a Japanese-style room, while the second floor adopts a temple structure, which is very special. The Kinkakuji Temple is a representative of the gorgeous Kitayama culture, while the Ginkakuji Temple is a representative of the simple and tranquil Higashiyama culture. It is hard to say which one is better, but it is certain that the Ginkakuji Temple is definitely worth a visit. #JapaneseAttractions #OverseasTravel #Japan #Kyoto #Silver Pavilion Temple #Jishoji Temple #Countryside #japan #kyoto

As soon as Japan opens its borders in October, the autumn leaves in Kyoto are at their peak in late November, so book a flight to enjoy the autumn scenery as soon as possible. Air tickets to and from Nagoya Airport are cheaper and still quiet. It costs more than 5,000 yen to take the JR to Kyoto. Day 1: Arashiyama, go to Nijo Castle to watch the light show at night Day 2: Ginkakuji Temple -> Philosopher's Path -> Eikan-do Temple -> Nanzenji Temple Day 3: Kiyomizu Temple -> Tofukuji Temple Autumn is in full swing, and sunny or rainy days each have their own charm, sweeping away the depression caused by the epidemic. #kyoto #autumnleaves

Ginkakuji Temple during the autumn leaves season🍁 I've been to Kinkakuji Temple many times, so I went to Ginkakuji Temple for the first time in a while!!

The elegant Ginkakuji Temple. The gardens are also well-maintained, so be sure to take a stroll. It's the complete opposite of the glamorous Kinkakuji Temple, but it's a place where a fresh breeze flows, and it's my personal favorite✨ 📍Ginkakuji-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City #World Heritage Site #Beautiful Japan

The garden of Ginkakuji Temple can be divided into two areas: on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. On the mountain is a dry landscape garden paved with white stones, and at the foot of the mountain is a pond-swimming garden landscape with the Kinji Pond as its center. Take a stroll along the paths in the garden all the way to the back hill, where you can not only admire the flowers and trees carefully cultivated by the gardener, as well as the moss garden gleaming in the sun, but also get a panoramic view of the entire Ginkaku-ji Temple. The gardens of Ginkaku-ji Temple are designated as a Special Historic Site and a Special Place of Scenic Beauty. #Overseas Travel

I never thought I’d be able to visit my dream place. Although it was rainy, the beauty of the temple glowed even more. The temple used to be a Family Villa of a Shogun (Samurai Head). When the Shogun died, he ordered to transform it into a temple. The place is well-kept. There are signs and guides and security staff that help maintain its serenity. As visitors it is our obligation to avoid making loud noises and leaving trash behind. Right before exiting the temple, there’s a tea house where you can try the temple’s sweets speciality for only 500¥/5$. Again, when inside the tea house, maintain silence. I hope you can visit here too. ❤️ #Japan #Temple #Kyoto #goldenpavillion

Ginkaku-ji, a temple in Kyoto, Japan, is a place where you can feel the simple beauty of Japan rather than the splendor of Kinkaku-ji. A place where you can feel the beauty of a traditional Japanese garden. With a sand garden, pond, and maple trees, Ginkaku-ji exudes a quiet atmosphere. When you pass through the entrance made of a camellia wall, you can't help but be captivated by the beauty of Ginkaku-ji.

#Kyoto #Jishoji #Ginkakuji Ginkakuji is not a temple coated in silver leaf, unlike Kinkakuji. There are many theories and speculations about this temple, such as that it was silver leaf when it was first built, or that it was built simply because they didn't have money, but it is still very impressive and beautiful even without the silver leaf.
