Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto's most dazzling sights. The top two floors are covered in gold leaf, making the temple shimmer beautifully against the pond.

You can wander around the lovely temple grounds, with their well-kept gardens and a cute little teahouse. A friendly guide will share cool stories about the temple’s history and architecture, helping you get the most out of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

With its peaceful vibe and stunning looks, Kinkaku-ji is a must-see for anyone visiting Kyoto.
