  1. Kinkakuju

    Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji.

    In 1397 construction started on the Golden Pavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen temple after Yoshimitsu's death in 1408.

    The Golden Pavilion functions as shariden, housing sacred relics of the Buddha and is covered in gold leaf.
