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
A place to relax whenever you visit
Kinkakuji Temple looks different in each season. You can relax and unwind whenever you visit, whether it's the cherry blossoms in spring, the colorful foliage decorating the Shariden Hall and Kyokochi Pond in autumn, or the fantastic snow-covered scenery in winter.
