Kinkaku-ji Temple
Kinkaku-ji with its formal name Rokuonji Temple is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto Japan. Kinkaku-ji means the temple of the Golden Pavilion. It was built by Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga as his retirement villa but eventually, became a Zen temple after his death in 1408. The top two floors are covered with gold leaf.
