The garden consists of a pile of white sand that had been probably left here by workers, when their work was discontinued, and so it became a part of the garden. It symbolizes Mount Fuji . A steep street bordered with little shops selling traditional souvenirs - umbrellas, fans, swords, sticks and objects made of kimono silk - leads to the temple. Ginkaku-ji was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994..
