Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), also known as Rokuon-ji, was built in 1397 as the villa of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It was later converted into a Zen temple and named Rokuon-ji. The temple is commonly referred to as Kinkaku-ji due to its gold-leaf-covered exterior. After being nearly destroyed by fire in 1950, it was reconstructed in 1955. Standing majestically by Kyōko-chi Pond, the temple features a square layout, with the top tier adorned by a phoenix sculpture made of gilded bronze. Its radiant golden appearance is breathtaking, making it one of Japan's National Treasures. In 1994, it was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site under the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto." The temple grounds also house a 600-year-old five-needle pine named Rikushu-no-Matsu, which was transplanted from a bonsai by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Pruned to resemble a boat, it faces west, symbolizing the desire to sail toward the Western Pure Land.
