You can go to Ginkakuji or Ginkaku-ji who is a pavilion of silver (Silver Pavilion Temple) the 15th century. Ginkakuji built on the orders of the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa (1435-1490) as a convenient resting place.

Maybe a bit ironic because Ginkakuji originally designed as a place to exhibit and monument. However, the reality is actually an example of a unique building in Japan that still survive.
Which can be seen in the front room Togu-do (East Seeking Hall) is a sculpture that is believed to Yoshimasa. This is where the Shogun Ashikaga spent his early life. At the rear there is also room for tea tradition Dojin-sai. It is quoted Sacreddestinations.
Ginkakuji is a simple building with exterior wood similar to Kinkakuji. The design also incorporates the style of existing buildings in China and Japan.
Most of the buildings in this temple complex has existed since the 17th century, but in the 1600s new buildings began to be built with the interest and inspiration of the shogun.
The first place that overlooked the park around the pavilion is the green pond. Some of the composition of rocks and plants can be seen in a different perspective. The second is the two mounds of sand sculpture, which symbolizes the sacred Mount Fuji. If you are interested, simply reach for  ¥ 500 (approximately Rp58 thousand) to pay the admission rate.
