Kinkaku ji in Kyoto Japan

Kyoto is filled with beautiful shrines and temples, but in my opinion, none can be compared to the beauty of Kinkaku ji, or the Golden Pavilion.Officially called Rokuon ji, this Buddhist temple has acquired a lot of fame recently and has become one of the most visited places in Japan.Whether you visit during the fall when there are red momiji leaves contrasting the gold, in winter when the gold is topped with pure white snow, in spring with the cherry blossoms, or in summer allowing you to see the beautiful temple golden reflection there is never a bad time to visit this beautiful temple.While it does cost 400 yen to visit, the cost is certainly worth it.
