Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) 金閣寺, Kyoto Japan


Kinkakuji 金閣寺 is a UNESCO gazetted site and is one of the temple that you should not missed if you visit to Kyoto. The top two floors of this temple are completely covered in gold leaf.


We still took bus from Kyoto station, this time the journey is a bit longer, it took about 30mins..Once we reached there, we bought this sushi from the mini rmarket for breakfast..Even this sushi was cold but very tasty..

I must say this temple is very very beautiful and awesome. FYI, you can't enter to this temple, you can just stand by the side of the lake to admire this golden pavilion..
