About Ginkaku-ji

Ginkakuji is a Zen sanctuary along Kyoto's eastern mountains Higashiyama. In 1482, shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa manufactured his retirement manor on the grounds of the present sanctuary, demonstrating it after Kinkakuji Golden Pavilion, his granddad's retirement estate at the base of Kyoto's northern mountains Kitayama. Today, Ginkakuji comprises of the Silver Pavilion, about six other sanctuary structures, delightful greenery cultivate and a one of a kind dry sand plant.

It is appreciated by strolling along a roundabout course around its grounds, from which the greenhouses and structures can be seen. A first sight of the Silver Pavilion can be appreciated shorty in the wake of entering the grounds. Formally named Kannonden Kannon Hall, the structure's two stories are built in two distinctive design styles and contain a statue of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of leniency. Be that as it may, the inside of the building isn't available to the general population.
