Siem Reap, Cambodia
Golden Pavilion visit at Kinkaku-ji Temple
Kyoto · Japan
About this experience
Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, is a Zen temple whose upper two floors are covered entirely in gold leaf. It stands beside a pond, and its reflection in the water is the image that most people remember.
It is one of the most recognisable sights in Kyoto. Take your time at the water's edge, because the view is the point of the visit.
