📍 From Park, South Korea
Kinkaku, in Kyoto, Japan, is also known as the Golden Pavilion. Built in 1397, it is one of the most significant structures of Japanese architecture and is a designated National Special Historic Site and National Special Landscape. The structure is a large three-story pavilion covered in gold leaf and framed by a beautiful pond and gardens. The building is also surrounded by a tranquil Zen garden with carefully arranged stones, sand and trees. Despite its lavish exterior, the interior is relatively plain and houses several ancient relics, including Buddha statues and a sacred bell. Visitors can take their time to explore its grounds and appreciate the beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere.
