[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kinkaku(Golden Pavilion) is a popular name for one of the main buildings of this temple, which is properly called Rokuon-ji Temple. In the 1220's it was the comfortable villa Kintsune Saionji

Yoshimitsu, the 3rd Shogun of Ashikaga, abdicated the throne in 1394.After three years, he began to build Kitayamaden and he made a special effort to make it a breath-taking site.He indulged in his peaceful life in this srene setting. After Yoshimutsu's death, Kitayamaden was made into a Zen tepmle in accordance wiht his will. All the buuldings of those days came to ruin except Kinkaku. The garden , however , remains as it was in former days and can be enjoyed as it was hundreds of years ago. Rokuon-ji Temple was inscribed as World Cultural Heritage in 1994
