J	Joe Smith (スミスジョー) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My personal favourite temple in Kyoto. The perfected nature around the temple itself is the highlight here. There's also the bamboo forest next door. Word of advice though, once you leave the temple, towards the bamboo forest entrance, you would have to pay again to get back into the temple; otherwise it's a long walk back around the streets to get back to where you were. Not a bad walk though, you'll get to see other shrines and temples.
V	Venus Cosep on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the most beautiful Japanese garden I visited in my Kyoto Trip. The Japanese garden is very mesmerizing. The Japanese culture is indeed beautiful. This is known as Temple of Silver Pavilion. You can visit here by bus. I would suggest to buy the one - day unlimited pass for bus. It's very affordable and it will save you a lot of money. You also need to pay an entrance fee which is 500 yen. The fee is worth it because you will witness the beauty of nature. We visited during Autumn and I love the scenery.
D	David Bush on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an amazing place to visit. I've wanted to visit the Silver Pavilion for over a decade and I finally got to see it. The walk around the gardens doesn't take very long, so be sure to take your time and enjoy it. And if you're into history take a few minutes to look the place up before you make the trip.
ジ	ジエームス on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful with snow if you have the chance in wintertime. Autumn has warm reds, oranges, and yellows. Also gorgeous when it’s raining.
J	Jane Calextro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For the first time, I had a one day trip in Kyoto. At first, I was thinking of removing Ginkakuji in my itinerary because I was going to Kinkakuji anyway, but because of good reviews, I’ve ended up going. The nearest bus station was Ginkakujimichi Bus stop. The entrance fee was 500 yen. The landscape design of the place was amazing! I’ve went to Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji (every place has different vibe) but this was my favorite. If you like Japanese gardens, you should come here! If you have limited time, it’s also good. The place is not that big and I’ve went around the place and have taken pictures within just 35minutes.
D	Demar Ayee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ?️?? Silver Pavilion. Autumn 2018. Visit during autumn if you can. The foliage is spectacular. A must see in Kyoto.
S	Shingo Sae-Lim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Trip was made back then on 2 Dec 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) Due to he rainy weather, we had a change of plans and ended up visiting Ginkakuji instead. The temple was initially supposed to be covered with silver leaf, in emulation of the gold-leaf covered Kinkakuji. However, it never came to fruition due to disruptions from the zoning war. Even though Ginkakuji isn’t as extravagant or lavishly adorned like it’s golden counterpart, it’s subdued exterior emanate a subtle charm. Personally, I prefer Ginkakuji as it feels more intimate as you can get up close and personal by wandering within its beautifully landscaped compound, which has a beautiful Japanese garden and a dry sand garden. There were some autumn trees in the compound but most of them have already shed their leaves and were bare from the onset of winter. It would probably be a more amazing sight during the peak autumn season when the foliage are more lush and vibrant. It’s probably one of the most popular sites to visit aside from Kinkaku-ji and Fushimi Inari Shrine. It was very touristy even though it was raining, with people spewing in in droves.
C	Cyril ClavMan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely a must to do if you come to Kyoto. Entry cost around 500yens but they worth it. The park around the temple is beautiful, even more in autumn with the momiji ?. At the top, you can have a nice view of Kyoto with the temple. This place can be really crowded, so prefer to come at the opening or early in the morning.
