  • Point.01

    Experience the golden glow

    There is a theory that the reason why Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who built Kinkaku-ji Temple, covered the exterior of the temple in gold leaf was to show off his authority and power, or to represent the Pure Land.

  • Point.02

    Enjoy the traditional beauty of Japan

    Kinkakuji is a three-story building covered in gold leaf inside and out, which was originally a mountain villa of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and was converted into a temple after his death. The garden and architecture centered around Kinkakuji are said to represent the Pure Land, and are considered to symbolize the Kitayama culture of the early Muromachi period.

  • Point.03
