2019/06/08

Have you decided where to visit in this hot summer?

If not,Kinkaku-Ji(officially named Rokuon-ji) is a must-go landmark in Kyoto!

Kinkaku-Ji is one of the famous Temple which is a World Heritage Sites.

The tample is built up in 1397 and reconstructed in 1955.

The most charming point is that the tample is covered with pure gold leaf

and this is the reason why it is called Kinkaku-Ji (金閣寺）”金（Kin ）means gold in japanese”.

Here is the photo that i took on the new’s year day

This is my first time to visit Kinkaku-Ji

The magnificence of the temple is out of my expectation

It is also very convenient to go from Watazen by bus

If you are planning to come to Kyoto,

Please go and have a visit!

Kinkaku-Ji will not disappoint you!
