KYOTO《Kinkakuji Temple(金閣寺)》

 

Hello, it's me! Sayaka!

Today I am writing about one place which you should go when traveling in Kyoto. This is... Kinkakuji Temple.

 

From Kyoto Station, taking city bus is the easiest way to get there. Take city bus 205. One of city bus 205 is going to Kinkakuji way, but the another 205 is going to Gion/Kawaramachi. So watch out when you take Kyoto bus. The drivers understand simple English, and some of locals also do.

 

Its entrance is like this. I guess it's a little hard to find out, but on the day time, there are some guardians so that it can be easier. Or just follow a line which are made by other tourists who know the direction. Haha.

Here you go! You are Kinkakuji now!

What you can enjoy there is not only the temple but also old Japanese garden. When you get tired browsing there, you can have Japanese green tea or icecream flavored green tea! Kyoto is the place which is very famous and popular with green tea - Matcha in Japanese.

Around 1950, this temple had been burned up by arson. Lots of people had had efforts in many ways to reconstruct Kinkakuji Temple. Nowadays, lots of tourists come to Kyoto to see this  historical temple.

Hope you have good trip and have some historical acknowledge of Japan a little through this Kinkakuji Temple trip!
