    Beautiful Gardens
    The Pavillion isn’t particularly noteworthy, especially in comparison to the Gold Pavilion. The gardens, however, are outstanding. They are both beautiful and extensive. We went on a rainy day. The rain wasn’t a problem but the hundreds of umbrellas were a real nuisance and a potential hazard to your eyes. Highly recommended in good weather.

    Combine Kyoto's Silver Pavilion with a Charming Walk
    The Silver Pavilion itself might not be as impressive as the Golden Temple, but its surrounding garden is far more enjoyable than the temple garden. So, it's definitely worth a visit if you have time in Kyoto. About 2-300 meters from the Silver Pavilion, there's a delightful 2 km stroll along a small canal called Philosopher’s Path. It's highly recommended as an added bonus to your pavilion visit.

    A moment of serenity...
    The visit is essentially devoted to the Japanese garden which is at its peak in this temple. And even though there are a few people there, we can clear our minds and let our thoughts go. The visit can be a good continuation, a good start to that of the path of philosophy.

    Really beautiful and serene
    I really enjoyed this temple - it was quiet, beautiful and immaculately maintained. The Zen garden was one of the most impressive we saw with the mound of gravel in the shape of Mount Fuji. The reflections of the pavillion in the water were really lovely. Well worth a visit.

    Highlight
    One of the most special places in Kyoto. The garden is breathtaking. If you follow the route through the garden you will also have some great views over the city. It's amazing to see the modern buildings around this temple, where it feels like time has stood still.

    Japanese beauty
    I've been here on a school trip, but coming as an adult feels different and it's really nice. The atmosphere exuded by its calm appearance is incredibly nice and it was a relaxing space. I came here after Kinkaku-ji Temple, and I think this place has a more Japanese beauty to it. The gardens were large and we walked around quite a bit.

    Tranquil Setting
    The Silver Pavilion is a beautiful simple traditional Japanese timber structure in a tranquil setting. Well worth the $4AUD entry fee for a walk through the moss covered grounds, around the ponds and the interesting dry-sand garden. It is however packed with tourists so I highly recommend a visit first up at 9am upon opening and you will find time to chill out. At the top of the circular route there’s nice views of the zen Ginkakuji precinct & Kyoto town. Also, you get to see the silver rooster perched on top of the Silver Pavilion. Wear good footwear as there are plenty of slippery stone stairs to encounter along the way. Definitely worth a visit.

    Among the most beautiful
    Let's be honest: by visiting temples in Kyoto you run the risk of confusing one with the other after a few days. There are many and almost all deserving of a decidedly positive evaluation. The additional problem is that, when you visit the northern Higashiyama area, you really encounter a considerable amount of them, and to remember their characteristics you need, if you don't immediately write a review immediately, to concentrate and make an effort of memory. Having said all this, this complex stands out for the peculiarity of having been born as a villa - and annexes - of a shogun, and of having been transformed into a temple only in a later period. Visiting it you can easily realize this, due to the presence of a beautiful tea room and a magnificent garden with a small lake, the parts of which are connected by walkways. A show. Unfortunately, as happens in many other places in the city, it is often a little compromised by the excessive crowds of visitors. But how can one fully criticize this fact if one is part of the unwelcome phenomenon?

    No words to describe the beauty
    We stayed in central Kyoto and got a train to the nearest station Kitaoji and caught a taxi to the site. It is very crowded, but as you walk only one way, it makes it much easier to walk with the flow. We were there in autumn and it was just outstanding the vistas and the gardens. Recommend getting there early before the crowds. It takes a good couple of hours to meander around the site and perhaps buy a few souvenires on the way out. 100% a site to see.

    Isn't it one of the better of Kyoto's major tourist temples and shrines?
    It was my first visit in over 50 years (lol). I walked around the temple grounds twice. Most of the visitors were foreign tourists, with the rest being people on school trips. The moss covering the garden created a very picturesque atmosphere. I think 30 minutes is enough to walk around the garden at your leisure. It's a big difference from when I went there before I even knew the meaning of wabi-sabi. The admission fee was 500 yen, which I guess is the charge for the talisman. I guess it's better than other rip-off temples and shrines in Kyoto.
