The 500 year-old Temple of the Silver Pavilion (Ginkakuji/Jisho-ji) is (alas) not covered in silver foil like originally intended. Best visited early in the day or at sunset for the views and quiet.

This temple has it all: 1) beautiful garden 2) bamboo section 3) little waterfalls 4) walkway up to view the whole complex. Again - manicured perfection ????

This temple's garden was my favorite walk during my visit to Japan. The crowds are light approaching closing time, and the scenery is stunning. Highly recommend taking a walk here.

総門をくぐると中門までの約50mに石垣・竹垣・椿の生垣の調和が見事な銀閣寺垣があり、中門から中に入ると波紋を表現した銀沙灘や、富士山型の公月台との美しい庭園が広がっている。参道の途中にはお茶の井があり、足利義政の茶の湯にも用いられた湧き水として現在でもお茶会に使用。展望所からは銀閣寺全景を一望出来る。平成6年 (1994年) 「古都京都の文化財」の一つとして世界遺産(文化遺産)に登録されている。

京都では有数の観光地の一つ。室町幕府8代将軍足利義政公が、祖父の義満公が建てた金閣寺にならって、文明14年 (1482年) 山荘東山殿を建立したのが始まり。義政の死後、彼の遺言により臨済宗相国寺派の寺院に改められ慈照寺となった。初期の書院造りの遺構として貴重な東求堂と、2層の観音殿、それに白砂を盛り上げた庭園が残る。観音殿は、銀箔を押す計画があったところから銀閣寺と呼ばれ、東求堂と共に国宝。

臨済宗相国寺派の寺院であり山号は東山。観音殿の内部は一層を心空殿、二層を潮音閣と呼ぶ。心空殿は住宅風の書院造、潮音閣では禅宗様風の仏堂風。仕切りのない1室であり、観音菩薩坐像を安置する。慈照寺観音殿が銀閣と呼称されるようになったのは江戸時代以降で、銀箔は使用されていない事が特徴。特別名勝・特別史跡に指定されている枯山水庭園と池泉回遊式庭園は善阿弥作と言われる。
