A must-visit in Kyoto—absolutely stunning!

Kinkaku-ji is beautiful all year round—not just in autumn when you can see the red leaves. Every season has its own charm! ❤️

Kinkaku-ji is one of Kyoto’s most iconic spots! The main highlight is the Shariden, which is covered in gold leaf and looks stunning. The building is actually a reliquary hall that holds Buddha’s ashes.

With its dazzling golden exterior, this is definitely one of the most popular spots to visit in Kyoto.

Right outside Kyoto Station is the bus terminal, so getting to Kinkaku-ji is super easy. Just take the 205 bus and get off at Kinkakuji-michi.

There were way too many tour groups. You have to line up and organize before entering. The front of Kinkaku-ji is packed with visitors, so it's really hard to take photos.

Kinkaku-ji is so beautiful, it almost feels unreal. If they let visitors go inside, all the gold leaf would probably get worn off.

You can only walk around the lake and take photos from a distance. It's a bit disappointing that you can't go inside to visit.

Kinkaku-ji is famous both in Japan and abroad. Even from the tour bus in the parking lot, you can see that most of the visitors are from overseas. It's definitely a must-visit spot when you're in Kyoto.
