⛩️ Entering Ginkaku-ji Temple
We arrived at Ginkaku-ji Temple under the clear daylight. Its official name is Jisho-ji Temple, but it's more commonly known as Ginkaku-ji Temple due to its silver building. Unlike the ornate Kinkaku-ji Temple, which is covered in gold leaf, Ginkaku-ji Temple has a calm and simple charm that makes a first impression of peace.

🌿 A Serene Garden Stroll
As I entered, the manicured sand gardens of "Ginsadan" and "Pagosan" caught my eye. The white sand sparkled in the daytime sunlight, casting a soft glow that enhanced the tranquil atmosphere of Ginkaku-ji Temple. Next to the garden, a verdant moss garden stretched, offering a harmonious blend of lush nature and the tranquil temple with every step.

🏯 View of Ginkaku (Kwaneumjeon)
At the center of the garden stood the two-story wooden building, "Gwaneumjeon." An attempt was made to cover it with silver leaf, but it was never completed, resulting in its current simple appearance. However, hearing that its elegance became a symbol of Ginkaku-ji Temple made it all the more special. Bathed in the daytime sunlight, Ginkaku-ji's soft, warm colors blended well with the surrounding nature.

👀 From the Viewpoint
After climbing a short distance up the hill along the trail, I was greeted with a panoramic view of Ginkaku-ji Temple and the Kyoto cityscape. The traditional architecture and garden, blending in with the clear sky, radiated a refreshing beauty unique to daytime, making it a perfect spot for photography.
