Ginkaku-ji (the Silver Pavilion) was built in 1482 as a retirement villa for shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa - intended to be silver-leaf clad like its golden cousin Kinkaku-ji but never finished. The wabi-sabi austerity of the dark wood pavilion, the sand garden's perfectly raked Mount Fuji cone (Kogetsudai), and the moss garden combine to define Higashiyama-culture aesthetics.

Entry is JPY 500. From the temple gate, the 2 km Philosopher's Path (Tetsugaku-no-michi) follows a cherry-tree-lined canal south to Nanzen-ji, passing dozens of small temples and craft cafes. Named after Kyoto philosopher Nishida Kitaro, who walked it daily. The 30-minute walk is the prettiest in Kyoto during cherry blossom (early April).

Pro Tip: Combine Ginkaku-ji with the Philosopher's Path and Nanzen-ji as a half-day walk. Stop at Honke Owariya (since 1465) for soba lunch, or Yojiya for Kyoto's most famous matcha cafe.
