源光寺, Buddhist temple in Kita-ku, Japan
The temple building maintains three distinct architectural levels, each featuring specific design elements that reflect different Japanese historical periods and styles.
The temple began as Kitayama-dai villa in 1397 when shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu purchased the property and later transformed it into a religious complex.
The temple grounds include a water garden with Kyoko-chi pond, which mirrors the structure and represents the connection between architecture and nature.
Visitors can access the temple grounds through designated pathways that lead through gardens, with entry fees required for exploring the premises.
The current structure dates from 1955 after the original pavilion burned down in 1950, requiring complete reconstruction with updated gold leaf coating.
