Kinkakuji Temple


Intro to Kinkakuji Temple Edit Section - Kyoto Monuments and Historical Sites : Kinkakuji Temple
 
Kinkakuji (金閣寺) temple is probably the most famous temple in all of Japan.  Gilded with pure gold, it was burned down in 1979 by a devotee who thought it too beautiful for existence.  Now, the gilding is twice as thick as before, and the pond and gardens surrounding the Golden Pavilion are nothing to be dismissed either.  Take bus 12 or 59 about 45 minutes from Kyoto Station, and you’ll be there.
