The autumnal leaves of Ginkaku-ji Garden
Actual size

The charm of the Ginkakuji temple is not only a temple dedicated to the Kannonden and white sand.
The autumnal leaves of Ginkaku-ji Garden can come and are very beautiful again.
The charm is also the beauty of the moss which spreads in the whole garden with autumnal leaves.
In other temples, like Saiho-ji famous as Koke-dera, moss spreads in the whole garden and a very good atmosphere is created.
Saiho-ji incidentally called Koke-dera is also a temple of Rinzai sect.
It seems that moreover, it is said that the Kinkakuji Temple Syariden and the Ginkakuji temple Kannonden were built by the model in both Ruriden(s) of Saiho-ji.
