Kyoto Recommend : Attractions, Top Temples Day Tour Price & Booking, Budget Hotels Unlike Kinkakuji, Ginkaku-ji is not covered with sliver though it's name literally translates as 'Silver Pavilion', instead it is a wooden building with a beautiful Zen rock garden, traditional landscaping and architecture.  Walkways lead through the gardens, which include meticulously raked cones of white sand (said to be symbolic of a mountain and a lake), tall pines and a pond in front of the temple. A path also leads up the mountainside through the trees.
 Chion-in Temple
A collection of soaring buildings and spacious courtyards, Chion-in serves as the headquarters of a Buddhism brand called Pure Land which is the largest sect of Buddhism in Japan.
