This is VR 360 5K Japan Explorer. We explore many places in Japan.

We introduce Kinkaku Temple.

Popularly-called Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) for its famous golden stupa: a monument honoring Buddha’s relics, its official name is Rokuon-ji Temple. The temple belongs to the Shokoku-ji school of the Rinzai Buddhist denomination. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 1994.

Once there was a villa of Saionji Kintsune, a political figure in the Kamakura Period (1192 – 1333) at this location. Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Ashikaga reign took the liking of this site and obtained it from the Saionji in 1396. Yoshimitsu built Kitayama Palace, on the grounds centered around the golden stupa (Kinkaku). The entire palace premises consisting of the Golden Pavilion, garden and architectures represents an after-world Buddhist paradise.

Kitayama Palace used to stage both political and cultural centers in the age. It was a guest house for Emperor Gokomatsu, who frequently visited Yoshimitsu, as well as for delegations from China (Ming). The profits obtained from the trades with Ming had financed the construction of the palace, which leads to blooming of the contemporary culture dubbed as Kitayama style.

After Yoshimitsu’s death, Master Musōkokushi (the first chief abbot of the temple) founded Rokuonji temple following Yoshimitsu’s will. The name Rokuonji was coined from posthumous name of the shogun.
