Ginkaku-ji

Today I rode my bike up to the Ginkaku-ji. I passed Kyoto University along the way. It was quite busy as many people are coming to view the fall foliage.

Here is just past the entrance to the temple.

Sand garden.


There is a short walk up into the hillside.



I forgot that the actual temple itself is under construction. Our teacher had mentioned it previously, but I was not thinking and just wanted to get out and see some sights.



After Ginkaku-ji, I went along the Philosopher's Walk (哲学の道）. I would like to come back after a snowfall to see how it looks.



Lastly, a striking yellow tree just outside the zoo.
