Ginkaku-ji temple is one of most famous temples in Kyoto. This temple is very close to philosophir’s path, so you can go these two places in one time. Philosophir’s path is very famous for good Sakura flowers so you should go there spring, first week of April. But Silver Pavilion is good in every season every day.
If you go inside the gate, you can see very unique sand objects called ‘Kogetsu-dai’ and ‘Ginsyadan’. And you should watch the pavilion. But, you should think, where is the silver something? Why Japanese people call it as Silver pavilion?
