Kinkakuji Temple
Kinkakuji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built in 1397 as a retirement villa for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the structure was later converted into a Zen Buddhist temple. The temple’s top two floors are famously covered in pure gold leaf, creating a stunning reflection on the surrounding pond, especially on clear days. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, Kinkakuji embodies the harmony of architecture and nature, following classical Japanese design principles. Visitors can stroll along a designated path around the pond, offering picturesque views from different angles. Though entry into the temple is not allowed, its shimmering beauty and tranquil setting make Kinkakuji a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Kyoto.
