Shariden (舎利殿) / Kinkaku (The Golden Pavilion)
Gold foil on lacquer covers the upper two levels of Kinkaku, and a shining phoenix stands on top of the shingled roof. The first level is built in the shinden style of the 11th-century imperial aristocracy; the second level is in buke style of the warrior aristocracy; and the top level is in the Chinese zenshu-butsuden style. Overall, Kinkaku is representative of Muromachi-period architecture.
Fudo-do (不動堂)
The temple's main image is a stone statue of the Buddhist deity Fudo-myo-o. This statue is thought to have been made in the 9th century by Kobo-daishi, founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Although normally hidden from pubic view, the image has long been revered for miraculous powers. Open-Door Rituals are held on Setsubun (in early February) and on August 16.
