Kinkaku-ji (Japanese: 金閣寺,, Kinkaku-ji^? Golden Pavilion Temple) is the informal name of Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺, Deer Garden Temple) in Kyoto, Japan, the Pavilion being the main attraction of the Temple grounds. The Golden Pavilion (formally called 'Shariden') was originally built in 1397 to serve as a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It was his son who converted the building into a Zen Temple of the Rinzai school. The Temple was burned down several times during the Ōnin War. Yoshimitsu's grandson used Kinkaku-ji as the inspiration for Ginkaku-ji, a Buddhist Temple, which he intended to cover in silver.
