I travel the world Part 158: Kinkaku-ji (Kyoto)

in #travel8 years ago

Temple of the Golden Pavilion 

Kinkaku-ji is in my eyes one of the most beautiful and spectacular Zen Temples in the world. It is a World Heritage Site and every tourist to Kyoto has visited this Temple. I am sure many of you have already been there but I found some beautiful pictures from a prior Japan trip so please have a look

Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺?, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺?, literally "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.[2] It is one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.[3]  It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National  Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations making up the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which are World Heritage Sites.[4]  SOURCE

On a sunny day Kinkaku-ji is the most beautiful thing in Kyoto

The top floor of Kinkaku-ji are really covered in Gold.. It is really spectacular and so nice if the sun shines onto the temple. If you ever go to Kyoto take a whole tour of the important Shrines and Temples there. It is wonderful! And the food, OMG, but I will post tomorrow some Kai-seki pictures...

Is Kinkakuk-ji really made of Gold???

It was interesting to read. Well the problem is described. The material is presented correctly. Post deserves attention. I want to re-read to familiarize yourself with the individual parts of the post. It sets out clearly and intelligibly. The problem outlined in the post appears clearly to our consciousness. Thank you for having clearly shown that this is the case. We had to get acquainted with it and know more

thank you for your feedback!.

Beautiful, thanks.

thanks for following and voting me!

It's an interesting reminder. Both Japan and China have big buddhist populations, but the temple styles are so different.
