Ginkaku-ji Temple: Zen Moss Gardens & The Philosopher's Path
★4.8(4151)
Don't expect actual silver—the name is a flex that never happened. Instead, you're here for the tiered moss gardens and the massive sand cone that looks like a glitch in the matrix. Walk the circular path in 45 minutes to catch views of the pavilion reflected in the pond. It’s way quieter than the Golden Pavilion, especially if you hit it early via an e-bike tour before the Philosopher's Path crowds peak at noon.
