The building itself was first a <strong>villa owned by court noble<\/strong>. Later, it was used as a retirement home by a well-known shogun. Finally, at his request his son converted the structure into a Zen temple, naming it Rokuonji. This temple was <strong>destroyed several times<\/strong> by the fires of wartime. A similar temple, the <strong>Ginkaku-ji or Silver Pavilion<\/strong>, was built by the shogun\u2019s grandson on the other side of Kyoto a few decades later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 1950, Kinkaku-ji was burned to the ground<\/strong> by a disgruntled young Buddhist monk. This event and the temple itself served as the setting for Yukio Mishima\u2019s 1956 novel, <em>The Temple of the Golden Pavilion<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kinkaku-ji was rebuilt in 1955, and additional gold leaf was added in 1987<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_get_to_Kinkaku-ji\">How to get to Kinkaku-ji<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/kyoto-train-station\"><strong>Kyoto Station<\/strong><\/a>, take <strong>Kyoto city buses #101<\/strong> (departing from Stand B2) or <strong>#205<\/strong> (departing from Stand B3).
