寺閣金西洛
KINKAKUJI
Kinkakuji lies in the northeast of Kitano was built shortly before Ginkakuji was completed by the Shogun Ashikaga.
The tower adorned with yery thin gold stands still in the midle of the garden but as it is so old the thin gold now remains only very little of it to be seen.
But the magnificent edifice and the fine garden are remained still.
They are superior to Ginkakuji in splendor and granduar.
This garden is very large and has very many nice things in it.
In the front of the tower there is a pond where are plenty of fish.
It may be called one of the large and splendid temples in Kiyoto.
It is fifty Chios from Sanjio in distance.
A fine hill by name Kinugasa can be seen from there too.
