– Kinkaku-ji – 金閣寺 –
Kyoto (京都) – May 5, 2017
Kinkaku-ji is probably one of the most famous buildings in Japan. It’s a Zen temple in Kyoto that’s covered in gold leaf built in the middle of a pond. It’s one of the few temples that require an entry fee (400 yen).
The grounds are massive and you can see Kinkaku-ji from many angles. There area other buildings as well, such as the head priest’s old living quarters, a tea house, and more.
This goshuin is in my Inuyama Castle Goshuincho.
