Kinkakuji Temple
40m · Admission ticket included
One of Kyoto's most famous temples and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kinkakuji features a stunning golden building standing above a large pond. Each floor showcases a different architectural style, with the top two floors covered in gold foil to display the prosperity of its era. The original temple was burned down in 1950 and reconstructed in 1955.
Ginkakuji Temple

Known as the "Temple of the Silver Pavilion," this World Heritage Site is celebrated for its beautiful Zen rock garden, traditional landscaping, and architecture. Despite its creator's original intention, the temple was never covered in silver.

Founded in the early Heian Era (over 1000 years ago), this mountainside temple offers sweeping panoramas of Kyoto. Named for the waters flowing beneath it, which are legendary for their wish-granting powers.
