Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) is the most iconic image of Kyoto - a three-storey Zen pavilion completely covered in gold leaf, reflecting in a still pond ringed with pine trees and meticulously raked white-pebble paths. Originally built as a 1397 retirement villa for shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it became a Rinzai Zen temple after his death.

The current building is a 1955 reconstruction; the original was burned down in 1950 by a young monk (the inspiration for Yukio Mishima's novel). Entry is JPY 500 with a unique paper amulet ticket. The viewing path is one-way, takes 30-45 minutes, and the famous front-pond viewpoint is unavoidably crowded.

Pro Tip: Visit Kinkaku-ji at the 9am opening or after 4pm to avoid coach groups. The pavilion glows brightest with afternoon light reflecting off the pond. Combine with Ryoan-ji (15-min walk) on the same morning before the buses arrive.
