Visiting Kyoto could be an overwhelming experience for you, as you can experience the ancient Japanese way of harmony.
This time, I would like to introduce a 4K Virtual Walking Tour of Ginkaku-ji (Higashiyama Jisho-ji), which competes for the top spot on the popularity ranking among the most popular tourist destinations in Kyoto, Japan.
Ginkaku-ji, although not silver, owes its name to the fact that it was called Ginkaku-ji in the Edo period, as opposed to Kinkaku-ji.
Officially, the temple is called Higashiyama Jisho-ji.
It was built in 1482 as a villa for Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, and was converted into a temple after Yoshimasa's death.
It is said that the Ginkaku-ji was built with the Kinkaku-ji of Yoshimasa's grandfather, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, in mind.
Ginkakuji is popular as a spot where visitors can experience the Wabi-Sabi world view that reflects Ashikaga Yoshimasa's aesthetic sense.
