Kinkakuji Temple was built by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in 1397 as part of an estate complex. The temple is also known as the Golden Pavilion as its upper two storeys are gilted. The pavilion was burned down to the ground in 1950, but rebuilt in 1955. It is a major tourist attraction and on the UNESCO world heritage list.
