Absolutely Stunning Kyoto Ginkaku-ji! It's amazing in every season ā¤ļø
Located in Kyoto's Higashiyama, Jisho-ji, commonly known as Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion), is a must-see. ššæ Though it lacks the dazzling gold leaf of Kinkaku-ji, it exudes a unique, wabi-sabi beauty. The "Higashiyama-dono," created by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, embodies the culture of the Muromachi period, and its profound, tranquil essence remains to this day. ššæ Here, time slows down, and the hustle and bustle of the world are gently washed away by the wind and the sound of water. In the woods, visitors can immerse themselves in tranquility and contemplation, feeling the poetic and Zen charm of the passage of time. š© Q&A Fun Facts Q: Why is Jisho-ji also called Ginkaku-ji? A: There are two theories. The first is that it was originally planned to be covered in silver leaf, but financial difficulties prevented it. ššæ The second is that since Ginkaku-ji was modeled after Kinkaku-ji, it was given a corresponding name. #Kyoto ššæ
