Mabuhay!
This is a photo and video journal of day 2- Part 3 of our group travel adventure in Japan - a unique but incredible country, featuring our visit to the Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan.
Getting There
Kinkaku-ji is a 37-minute car drive from our first destination, the Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine.




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.

Kinkaku-ji was ranked 85th most holy place on earth.

This impressive structure overlooking a pond was the only building left in the retirement complex  of  Ashikaga Yoshimitsu

Though it was raining, it did not stop us from discovering this magnificent structure.
