Temple of the Golden Pavilion
Kinkaku-ji is in my eyes one of the most beautiful and spectacular Zen Temples in the world. It is a World Heritage Site and every tourist to Kyoto has visited this Temple. I am sure many of you have already been there but I found some beautiful pictures from a prior Japan trip so please have a look
Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺?, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺?, literally "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.[2] It is one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.[3] It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations making up the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which are World Heritage Sites.[4] SOURCE

On a sunny day Kinkaku-ji is the most beautiful thing in Kyoto
The top floor of Kinkaku-ji are really covered in Gold.. It is really spectacular and so nice if the sun shines onto the temple. If you ever go to Kyoto take a whole tour of the important Shrines and Temples there. It is wonderful! And the food, OMG, but I will post tomorrow some Kai-seki pictures...
Is Kinkakuk-ji really made of Gold???
