GINKAKU-JI
At the northern end of the Path of Philosophy, Kyoto's famed 'Silver Pavilion', or Ginkaku-ji, is an enclosed para-
dise of ponds, thick moss, classical Japanese architecture and swaying bamboo groves. It is unquestionably one of
the most luxurious gardens in the city and belongs near the top of any Kyoto sightseeing itinerary. Just be sure to
visit when the crowds are likely to be thin: early on a weekday morning or just before closing. Or wait for a rainy
day: the moss here is superb under a light rain.
