Rokuon-ji is more famously known as Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion). You can see part of that golden-plated wall behind them.
Tumblr media
The game is right in calling the temple “Rokuon-ji”, because the nickname Kinkaku-ji did not come until later.
However, I’m not able to find any description how much gold was actually on this temple during the Sengoku. After Yoshimitsu died, the temple experienced many disasters and had to be rebuilt a few times. Even if Yoshimitsu had originally plated the whole thing in gold to show off his wealth, there’s no telling if it actually looks golden like that during the Sengoku. The current solid gold look was only done in the 1950s.
In the game scene Yoshimitsu, the third shogun, was being described in an oddly negative light for being a prickly snob. I’m not sure what’s this all about, because Yoshimitsu seems to be mostly considered a positive symbol of prosperity and power (Ieyasu’s grandson, Iemitsu, supposedly took his name from Yoshimitsu in hopes that his reign would be just as prosperous).
It’s not wrong that Yoshimitsu is something of a nitpick. He demands strict punctuality (people who came in late to events can and will be kicked out), and regulates a dress code for the vassals. However, his “arrogance” was actually considered a positive assertion of power that was necessary for the time, because shogun Yoshimitsu ruled in the time of the North and South Court. It’s a messy situation where the imperial court split into two, and there were two emperors enthroned in two palaces, who are both claiming the other one is not legitimate. Yoshimitsu then rose up to become a successful ruler, and even received the acknowledgement of “the true ruler of Japan” from the Ming imperial court.
It’s similar to how the game constantly portrays Nobunaga’s “viciousness” as “necessary evil”, and his success in being a “conqueror” was seen as something that was good for the nation. 
Perhaps the writer saw that some officials at the time had accused Yoshimitsu for being biased towards those who are in power, and not so kind towards the “weak”, so they latched on that and created an image of an unwise or even corrupt shogun. (I personally withhold judgement for now, because of lack of context or details.)  
They contrasted Yoshimitsu to the eighth shogun Yoshimasa, who was the one who built the much more humble-looking Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion). Yoshimasa was the shogun who reigned during and after the Onin War, when the shogunate more or less lost its power. Rather than being “kind”, some people viewed Yoshimasa’s mild personality as weakness, due to his lack of strength and authority compared to his predecessors.
Both Yoshimitsu and Yoshimasa were men of culture, but the difference is that Yoshimitsu represents glamour and glory, while Yoshimasa is somewhat more associated with humility. I guess the writer is aiming to highlight Kenshin’s gentleness by comparing him with Yoshimasa (which the writer described positively), but it looks more of a something based on and aimed for a modern perspective rather than something that was written to fit the time period of the setting.

Le 3 août
Premier arrêt : le café Shiba.
La race canine Shiba est originaire du Japon. Pour une séance au café, il faut prendre rendez-vous. Pour le prix de la visite on a droit à un breuvage et accès aux chiens pour des caresses. À l’heure de notre rendez-vous on entre dans le café, une petite pièce, ou de petites tables sont disposées. Pas de chaises, on s’assoie au sol et on attend que les Shibas viennent nous voir pour pouvoir les caresser. Le temps écoulé on dit au revoir aux Shibas et on sort pour se rendre compte qu’il y a une file d’attente. 
Le Shiba est très populaire chez les Japonais, chien de petite taille, musclé à la queue en tire-bouchon, enjoué et sympathique.

Visite du  Kinkaku-ji (temple d’or)
 De son nom d’origine Rokuon-ji, célèbre temple bouddhiste surnommé Kinkaku-ji, ce qui signifie pavillon, ou temple, d’or. Ce surnom lui vient du fait que le premier et le second étage du temple sont entièrement recouverts de feuilles d’or.
Désireux de laisser sa marque, le shôgun Yoshimitsu de la ligné des Ashikaga fait construire le pavillon d’or en 1397, qui à l’origine était une villa privée, au nord-est de Kyoto, au pied des montagnes. 
À la mort du shôgun Yoshimitsu en 1408, pour respecter le souhait de son père, le shôgun Yoshimochi transforme l’endroit en temple bouddhiste zen pour l’école Rinzai.
 Le pavillon d'or a en outre été rénové en 1987 : il a, à cette occasion, reçu une nouvelle couche de feuilles d'or. Le temple est inscrit au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco depuis 1994, car il reflète à la perfection l'esthétique japonaise du XIVème et XVème siècles. Depuis 1956, il est aussi classé site historique spécial du Japon et lieu spécial de beauté pittoresque.

Le Kinkaku-ji est situé au nord-est de Kyoto. Au pied de la face nord-est du mont Kinugasa, une colline recouverte d’une forêt de pins. Le site du temple s’étend sur 93000 m2. Le site est visuellement enchanteur, les pins majestueux, le lac, la forêt, le tout soigneusement aménagé, font de ce site un endroit incontournable.

Fushimi Inari-taisha
Mélissa-Anne adore ce sanctuaire dédié à la déesse aux renards Kami Inari. Elle est reconnue comme protectrice des céréales, en particulier le riz. Historiquement, elle est associée à l’abondance et à la richesse, elle devient  la patronne des commerces. Le site du sanctuaire s’étend sur la montagne et est composé de plusieurs petits sanctuaires et des centaines de toriis vermillon.
Mélissa-Anne ne l’a jamais visitée de nuit, car bien qu'ouverte 24/7 il reste que la montagne est sauvage et habitée, il y a plusieurs affiches nous enjoignant de faire attention aux sangliers! Donc à trois, les sangliers n’ont qu’à bien se tenir, on fait l’ascension en suivant le chemin de toriis jusqu’au point de vue pour voir les lumières de la ville.
