寺閣銀北洛
GINKAKUJI
Ginkakuji is a most famous place for its splendour in ancient and modern time.
It received the name “Ginkakuji” because it was adorned with silver by the Shogun Ashikaga for the purpose of enjoying himself there, about the year 1400.
It still remains but as it is so old we can see the silver hardly any more.
There is a fine, pleasant garden with many kinds of ever greens and sweet flowers.
There is a little pond with nice fish in the centre of the garden.
It is 32 Chios from Sanjio.
