Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion)
babibubebo | 4 07 2006
Ginkakuji is located on the east side of Kyoto and right off the Philosopher’s Path. Ginkajuji was built for the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa and designed after Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) and was suppose to be covered in Silver, but when Yoshimasa died, the plans for this were set in stone. The temple grounds are pretty nice and worth checking out. From the hill you get a nice view.
