Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion Temple)
日本、〒603-8361 京都府京都市北区金閣寺町１
Commonly known as Kinkoku-ji (Golden Pavilion Temple) because gold leaf is applied to the interior and exterior of the Shariden (Golden Pavilion), this temple represents the culture of the Kitayama period.
History
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, reconstructed land he had received from the Saionji family to build the Kitayama Villa. It is estimated that the current Shariden (Golden Pavilion) was completed around 1399 CE (Oei 6). The temple burned down in a fire in 1950 but was rebuilt in 1955.
