Kyoto pt.3

Also on the second day of my travel i went to Kinkakuji temple(Golden Pavillion) which is probably the most famous or definitely one of the most popular sights in the city.

It is covered in golden leaves and in the northern part of Kyoto.It was the retirement villa of a shogun and was a zen temple afterwards.It burned down several times in its history and the current building was finished in 1955 after it was burned down before by a fanatic monk in 1950.




The garden with the pond is really nice especially in autumn season as the leaves of the trees turn red or yellow.It was a quiet and relaxing experience also the weather was great.




The temple itself is very beautiful!
