"Ginkakuji-Temple" a Kyoto Travel Page by moacha

It is the feature that effect differs between the shoin-zukuri of the housing style [ the first floor ] and the second floor in a zen pattern, the first floor, and the second floor. The religion view of Yoshimasa Ashikaga who built the Ginkakuji temple is expressed. It has become clear by the latest investigation that silver leaf was not stuck on Ginkakuji-temple

The fence of the Ginkakuji -temple no one but with which the bamboo hedge stands in a row a low stone wall, and the high hedge of evergreens is connected on it.
Although built for the purpose of defense, it is functioning also as a pause by the external world.

Ginsandan is what heaped up white sand to the stage form, and be also seemed a pattern like ripples . This has part of reflective beautifully in the light of the moon. Conic-stand is the thing for waiting for the moon.
It is very elegant.

Since a slightly elevated hill is east of the garden in the Ginkakuji -temple,
I go up along with usual route directions

The scene of Ginkakuji-temple and Ginsandan to look down on is great beautiful from a top(observatory),and in the distance, the scene in a Kyoto city can also be overlooked.
I got the scent of trees or the ground which is vividly freshness.

A several kilometers walk way called a philosophical way continues from the entrance side of the Ginkakuji- temple.

The tasteful way continues along the waterway and in the fresh green season it is fresher.

The Japanese restaurant, the souvenir shop, and the fashionable cafe can be located in a line in eaves along the philosophical way.
Since it got tired, I tooke a coffee break in the good familiar cafe which I fonud 15 years ago.
A photograph is the tart of an orange and a coffee.
