What to expect
Ginkaku-ji, also known as the Silver Pavilion, is a renowned Zen temple in Kyoto that contrasts with its golden counterpart, Kinkaku-ji. This historic temple, established in the medieval period, is famous for its distinctive "Kannon-dō" building, which, despite its name, was never adorned with silver. The temple embodies the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, emphasizing simplicity and understated elegance. From its inception, Ginkaku-ji was designed to reflect a serene, minimalist beauty rather than the opulence associated with Kinkaku-ji. Visitors can appreciate its tranquil gardens and refined architecture, making Ginkaku-ji a memorable highlight of Kyoto’s cultural heritage.
