This temple contains Japan's second largest wooden structure. The marker is on the building, which is known as Taishi-do or Goei-do.
It was built by the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The monks of this sect were strong enough to be a problem to the shoguns. The original temple is just to the east, Nishi Hogan-ji. It's experience several fires

Its name is also commonly spelled 'Ryoan-ji' to lessen the vowels, although this removes the indicator that the 'o' is to be longer in length than one normally intones.
This temple is a popular place to visit and is known for its zen rock and sand garden. I believe the marker is on the garden in question.

The Silver Pavilion

Ginkaku-ji
As with the other temples, there is much more than the single pavilion people think of. It's also important to note that the pavilion itself never got the silver finish which was intended.
The mark is on the pavilion, although it is difficult to see. Just to the NE you'll see a pale shape which is called the Sea of Silver
