Kyoto: the Silver Pavilion, Ginkakuji

This place is a fine example of geometry, harmony, and fairness. Hidden behind pine trees and shrubs but dazzled by the Ginsadan, the "silver sea" of white sand and gravel, Ginkakuji is modest and measured, but equally majestic. A little later, a pond runs into the Ginsadan, while the wood panels of the villa meet the trees that protect it. The huge stones contrast with the infinitesimally small details. Each element based on its place in a perfect setting that only shouts and clicks of cameras disturb.

Amanohashidate Travel: Ine

This working town has a long and rich history as a fishing village and is regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Japan. The unique aspect of Ine are its funaya. Literally meaning "boat houses", these traditional waterfront buildings contain garages for boats on their first floors and residential space on the upper floors. Today there over 200 funaya remaining along the bay. Some of them now serve as guest houses where visitors can stay the night and experience the funaya first-hand (see external links for a list of lodgings).

The best way to see Ine and its funaya houses is from the sea. The town itself is a normal town inhabited by working people, and most houses are personal residences. KAMO WAKE-IKAZUCHI JINJA(KAMIGAMO-SHRINE)/English Web Page. Introduction.
