Kinkakuji 金閣寺

Local nameKinkakuji 金閣寺
LocationKyoto, Japan

The Golden Pavillon lives up to its name - its two top floors are covered in gold and it shines spectacularly when the weather conditions are good. The 15th-century Zen temple is actually a mixture of several architectonic styles. Come marvel at the unique sight, its surrounding garden and also the beautiful pond.
