The charm of Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto, a world of tranquility and golden shining

#EnjoyJapan Kinkakuji Temple (official name: Rokuonji Temple) is a classic Kyoto tourist spot that leaves an impression no matter how many times you visit. The golden pavilion reflected in the Kyokochi pond is as beautiful as a painting, and attracts visitors with its seasonal scenery. Kinkakuji Temple has a three-story structure, and the top two stories are covered in pure gold leaf. The sight of it sparkling in the sunlight is so impressive that it takes your breath away. Walking around the grounds, you will feel a dignified air in the silence, and your mind will feel calm. There are plenty of things to see, such as the small island floating in the pond, the rock garden, and the remains of a teahouse, and every part is photogenic. Another great attraction is that you can enjoy different beauties throughout the year, such as the snow-covered Kinkakuji Temple in winter, cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and autumn leaves in autumn. After visiting the temple, you can also enjoy the sweet shops and souvenir shops in front of the gate, making it a perfect place to spend some relaxing time. This place, where you can feel the fusion of historical value and beauty, is the very symbol of "Kyoto-ness." Whether it's your first trip to Kyoto or your second or third visit, you're sure to be captivated by its beauty.
