Walk in the Ginkakuji Temple - The World Culture Heritage Site
The Philosopher's Walk
The Philosopher's Walk (哲学の道 Tetsugaku-no-michi, Path of Philosophy) is a pedestrian path that follows a cherry-tree-lined canal in Kyoto, between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji. The route is so-named because the influential 20th-century Japanese philosopher and Kyoto University professor Nishida Kitaro is thought to have used it for daily meditation. The walk is a popular destination for tourists and locals, especially during hanami (お花見).
Kannon-den (観音殿) / Ginkaku / National Treasure
This was originally called Kannon-den, after of Rokuonji (Kinkakuji) and Ruriden of Saihouji. It is two storied: the first floor, Shinku-den is built in Shoin style, traditional Japanese residential architecture style, and the second floor Cho-onkaku is Chinese temple style having Katoumado in the panel wall and a Chinese sliding door. The bronze phoenix on the roof facing east constantly guards Ginkakuji dedicated to Kannonbosatsu, the Goddess of Mercy.
