When thinking of the most magnificent building in Kyoto, many people would immediately think of the Kinkaku-ji Temple. In fact, its official name is Rokuon-ji Temple. In the first year of the Oei era, the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was awarded the Kitayama House. Yoshimitsu carried out a large-scale renovation and built the Shariden into a magnificent building. At that time, it was called the Kinkakuden, which was the earliest appearance of Rokuon-ji Temple. Later, it was used as a place for Zen practice. After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu passed away, the national master Muso suggested that the temple be named after Yoshimitsu, and thus the name Rokuon-ji came into being. However, Kinkaku-ji Temple had an unfortunate fate and was burned down during the Onin War. In 1935, according to legend, a trainee monk burned down Kinkaku-ji Temple because it was so beautiful that he did not want to share it with others, and all the Buddha statues, scriptures and the wooden statue of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu were destroyed. The description in the works of writer Yukio Mishima makes this event even more legendary. The Kinkaku-ji Temple we see today was rebuilt in its original form in 1955, and the entire hall was decorated with gold foil in 1987. No matter it is spring cherry blossoms, autumn maples or winter snow, travelers love to take pictures of the reflections of Kinkakuji Temple and Kagami Lake Pond. In fact, the building itself is more interesting. The first floor, Hosuin, is built in the style of a Japanese palace bedroom. The second floor, Chaoondo, is mainly in the Kamakura samurai architectural style. The third floor, the Ultimate Roof, shows the Chinese Tang Dynasty style, with a pagoda-shaped top structure and is cleverly matched with a golden phoenix that symbolizes auspiciousness. It now belongs to the Rinzai sect Shokokuji school. The Fudo Hall enshrines the Ishifudo Myo-o, which is said to have been made by Kobo Daishi. 📍Address: 〒603-8361 1 Kinkakuji-cho, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🚗Take bus 101, 111 or 205 and get off at Kinkakuji Road at Kyoto Station #2月好地方2025

#100 Ways to Travel Kinkakuji Temple ~ "All appearances are false. Destruction is the burnt sacrifice of beautiful things" 📖History: It was purchased by the third Japanese Shogun "Ashikaga Yoshimitsu" from the "Kitayama Family". Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a devout Buddhist and used it as a place for his own practice. He pasted gold foil on the exterior of the building, so it was called "Kinkakuji Temple". It is also known as "Rakonji Temple". It is the only remaining site of the "Kitayama Culture" and is listed as a national treasure by the government. The "Shariden" inside represents the "Pure Land of Bliss" in the ideal world, making all visiting travelers feel like they are in the Buddhist fairyland! However, the interior is not open to the public, so you can only view it from a distance. It is now one of the important cultural symbols of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism! Yukio Mishima: I once wrote the book "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion", which describes an arson case in 1950 called the "Kinkaku-ji Arson Incident". The story tells of a monk who lost himself because of his obsession with the beauty of the Golden Pavilion, so he burned it to ashes with a fire. This story is not fictional but a true adaptation! ! Later, the famous Japanese 🇯🇵 TV animation "Ikkyu-san" also often appeared in the scenes of Kinkakuji🎬~ 👀Seven must-see attractions: "Shariden": It is the location of the "Golden Pavilion". It is a three-story building. The hall contains the relics of later monks such as Sakyamuni. On the top of the building is a phoenix plated with gold🐦🔥, which is very spectacular! "Yukaitei": Located on a small hill in the temple, the building is not big but you can have a panoramic view of the "Shariden" and "Kyoko Pond" at the same time. "Yukaitei" originally means "to enjoy the excellent view of Kinkakuji Temple under the sunset from the tea room", which is a very famous "Yotozuki" architectural style in the Edo period of Japan~ "Kyoko Pond": The pond in front of Kinkakuji is the Mirror Lake. When the weather is clear, you can see the reflection of Kinkakuji Temple. The whole golden scenery is dazzling! ! It is said that Jinghu Pond was built in imitation of the "Seven Treasures Pond" in the Paradise. There are many small islands in the pond, which are called "Awara Island". It is a rare and beautiful sight! ! "Rikushu no Matsu": The tree is about 600 years old. According to legend, it was specially built to look like a ship by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and was planted by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself. The bow of the "Rikushu no Matsu" faces west, symbolizing the journey to the Western Pure Land! ! It is also one of the "Three Famous Pines in Kyoto" and is definitely not to be missed! "Fudo Hall": Two statues of Fudo Myo-o are enshrined here, both of which are important cultural properties. One is the "Ishifudo Myo-o" made by Master Kukai, and the other is a wooden sculpture of the "Fudo Myo-o" made during the Kamakura period. The hall is only open to the public on February 3 and August 16 every year! ! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : How to play it by an expert: "Wish Candles 🕯️": They are sold at Fudo-do. There are business, marriage, study, family, and health candles. Choose one you like 💕 and light it. Each candle costs only 50 yen. It is very healing to watch with the view of Kinkaku-ji Temple!

#Itinerary sharing #beaches #KYOTO #Nishiki Market #Kinkakuji #OKAZAKISHINJA #OMIGINSHRIJI Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted Get on the bus from Hankyu Umeda Station and get off at Karasuma Station. First go to Nishiki Market for brunch. After that, take the bus to Okazaki Shrine, take the bus to Kinkakuji Temple, take the bus to Okane Shrine, and finally walk back to Hankyu Electric Railway Return to Osaka. Okazaki Shrine and Kinkakuji Temple are attractions that I didn’t have time to visit when I came to Kyoto many years ago. This time I want to make up for the regret! ! 【Nishiki Market】 There are not many people and it is very comfortable to walk around. You can eat a lot of delicious food here. We ate a lot, including croquettes, eels, grilled seafood, strawberry daifuku, grilled shrimps, tamagoyaki, strawberry milkshakes and ice cream. We also bought I ordered small pastries similar to chicken cakes to eat on the road. When I look back at these actual photos, when I see the grilled seafood, I think it’s very salty! ! 【Okazaki Shrine】 The shrine's divine envoy is a rabbit, so there are rabbit statues, so it has a special name "Rabbit Shrine". It is said that it is very effective in praying for marriage, safe delivery and pregnancy. The lottery is in the shape of a rabbit. Of course, you should buy one and take it home. 【Kinkakuji Temple】 The official name is "Luyuan Temple", and the ticket is very special with a blessing seal printed on it. The Kinkakuji Temple is really breathtakingly beautiful. The way the glittering golden relic hall is reflected in Jinghu Pond is really beautiful. I hope to have the opportunity to see the Kinkakuji Temple covered with snow when it snows in the future. 【Gogan Shrine】 It is located in an alley, quite small. When I went there, almost all the people were locals. The torii gate at the door was really shining with gold. After paying homage, I bought a small guardian.

Kinkaku-ji was originally the Kitayama Palace, rebuilt by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in 1397. After his death, it was converted into a Zen Buddhist temple according to his wishes and named Rokuon-ji after his posthumous name. Rokuon-ji is commonly known as Kinkaku-ji due to the fame of the Golden Pavilion. The pavilion is three stories high, with the top two stories covered in 200,000 gold leaf pieces, giving it a dazzling appearance! It has been destroyed twice, once by arson committed by a monk, and was rebuilt in 1955. The reflection of the pavilion on the lake is stunning, and the garden design is also worth appreciating. Even on cloudy days, Kinkaku-ji is unforgettable. At the end of the visit, you can light a candle and make a wish. I drew a 'great fortune' fortune slip for the first time🤣. Ticket: 500 yen Visit duration: within 1 hour

Its official name is Rokuon-ji Temple. It is commonly called Kinkaku-ji Temple because the Shariden (relic hall) "Kinkaku" is particularly famous. It is said to have begun when Yoshimitsu Ashikaga, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, inherited the villa of Kinkakuji Kintsune from the Kamakura period and built the mountain villa Kitayamaden. The gardens and architecture centered around Kinkakuji are said to represent the Pure Land in this world, and the culture of this era is particularly called Kitayama culture. After Yoshimitsu's death, it became a temple according to his will.

#Natural Landscapes #100 Ways to Travel #Must-Visit Spots in Kyoto #World Heritage Sites Kinkaku-ji Temple is one of the most famous attractions in Kyoto. I fell in love with it at first sight. Its official name is Rokuon-ji Temple, and it is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The exterior walls of the Sharidon Hall are all decorated with gold foil. The sunlight and reflections are particularly spectacular in the Mirror Lake Pond. 🌟Its garden landscape has been designated as a special historical site and scenic landmark, covering an area of ​​approximately 92,400 square meters. Small islands of various sizes are dotted in the vast waters, adding to the beauty of the garden! 🌟 The teahouse experience in the temple is also recommended. You may as well stop here for a while, enjoy a cup of matcha, and read the novel "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" by the famous writer Yukio Mishima, which was created with this temple as the background, exploring the tragic relationship between beauty and life, art and life~ Surrounding attractions such as Ginkakuji Temple, Ryoanji Temple and Tenryuji Temple are also worth visiting. They are also close to Arashiyama and can be arranged to visit on the same day. Kinkakuji Temple is not only an architectural wonder, but also a symbol of culture and art. 🚗Take the Kyoto City Bus (Route 205) from JR Kyoto Station and get off at Kinkakuji-michi Station. The journey takes about 50 minutes.

The first time I went to Kyoto was during the maple leaf season. The Kinkaku-ji Temple, the Sagano Scenic Railway, and the Kiyomizu-dera Temple surrounded by a sea of red and green leaves left me in awe of Kyoto! Last summer, I went to the Kifune Shrine just to try the flowing noodles. Although the line was too long and I didn't get to eat, I enjoyed water fortune-telling and soaked up plenty of negative ions. This April, I came back to chase the cherry blossoms. Even though they weren't in full bloom, the weather was perfect as I strolled along. I enjoyed the seventy percent bloomed Yoshino cherry trees, a century-old Western-style restaurant, authentic sukiyaki, and more, satisfying both my eyes and taste buds. Indeed, Kyoto is my favorite place, without a doubt!
