Ginkakuji Review

We were pretty shocked that this shrine is small. You get a view of the surroundings if you pay the entrance fee of 500yen to enter. The gardens are very well maintaned and really quite pretty!Worth a visit only if you have alot of spare time.

Compared with Jinge Temple, the viewing experience of Yinge Temple is better! Because the scenery is rich and quiet! Yinge Temple has both a dry landscape garden and a return to the pool garden courtyard; especially the shape of the dry landscape, which is shocking.

Yinge Temple is one of the most beautiful temples, and it is also the top temple in Kyoto. The area of the dead landscape is large enough, so it shows many different ways of care. The building is not big and there are many areas to explore.

A small, quiet and beautiful garden. Worth a visit to see something different to other temples

Although there is an entrance fee of 500 yen, it is a pleasant place to see. The size is a little small, and it is impressive that the sand and lake are completely organized with the perfectionism unique to Japan. You can go up the stairs and overlook the panoramic view from above, but it's not very difficult stairs, so it's recommended to see them.

I went there many times, but it is a very calm space. The view from above is also the best.
