Pavilion Golden

#summervacay

"Kinkaku"—the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku‑ji)—but that's actually located in Kyoto, not Osaka. Here's a clearer guide to avoid any mix-up. Kinkaku‑ji: The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. Location: Northwest Kyoto (Kinkakuji‑chō, Kita‑ku) About: A Zen Buddhist temple famed for its three-story Golden Pavilion, with the top two stories covered in gold leaf, beautifully reflected in the "Mirror Pond" . Historical Highlight: Originally built in 1397 by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as his retirement villa, converted to a temple after his death. Rebuilt in 1955 after an arson event . Open year‑round 9:00–17:00; adults ¥400–500, children ¥300 . Best views are from the outside; photography inside the pavilion is not allowed. Go in the early morning for fewer crowds and calm.
