If there’s one thing that Ubisoft does well with their multitude of franchises, it’s creating dense environments filled with exploration. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is no different, as the vast world the studio has created is ripe for adventure. Whether it’s the various unique enemies you’ll come across on your adventures or investigating reported Yokai in the area, there feels like an overwhelming amount of content to dig your teeth into.
One such activity is participating in the numerous temples and shrines. Japan is a country of tradition and religion, at least back in the 1500s when Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place. If you’ve ever been to the country, you’ll know that the number of temples and shrines feels infinite, and in Shadows, it’s well represented with some of the most iconic structures in the Kansai region.

Part of the Yamashiro region, find all Lost Pages in Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Byodoin Temple.
Purpose of Temples & Shrines
With each of the temples and shrines, there will either be lost pages that need collecting or shrines that need to be prayed to. Doing so will unlock a good amount of EXP along with a Knowledge point that can be used to upgrade Nao and Yasuke. Some of these locations have surprisingly well-hidden collectibles, but with this guide you’ll have no problem finding them.
The Ginkakuji Temple is found in the Yamashiro region of Japan. It is located immediately across the river east of Kyoto.

Lost Page Locations
Lost Page #1
The first Lost Page can be a tricky one. The iconic Ginkakuji Temple may be small in comparison to other temples, but it has some verticality when finding some of the collectibles. The first falls into this category as it’s found on a tree branch. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as climbing the tree (this isn’t Assassin’s Creed III). Instead, what needs to be done is climb onto the nearby structure and jump across to the tree branches.
Lost Page #2
The second and final Lost Page can be found in a rather serene spot. Located in the middle of the temple itself, overlooking the pond, you will find the Lost Page. It is sitting on top of a mossy rock in front of the main structure with the iconic bird proudly displayed on the roof of it (the other being in Kinkaku).
