I took a lot of photos and i can't describe the photos wtf
Let me describe: this is the main view, hugeeeeeee wtf
Kinkakuji located in the northern area of Kyoto city. Long time ago, it was actually a retirement villa for the founder of Ashikaga Takauji but had willed it to the Rinzi sect of Zen Buddhism at year 1408. The structure now isn't the original one, It's already rebuild from 1955 after the structure was set on fire by a monk.
You can read on wiki too!

I took a photo because i don't wanna get lost
But i can't read a map wtf ._.

Bought the ticket for 400 yen! and Kinkakuji open at 9:00 am to 05:00 pm
I think Japanese student often went here to study (so many students in here)
the ticket entrance looks like a charm! And plus i remember a movie about Chinese vampire wtf
But it looks almost same isn't it? Isn't it?
#11
Actually, before i went to Japan i had already read about japanese language. But the words really hard to read
I wonder what's it called
#12
So that's the Kinkakuji or we often said Golden Pavilion!
Kinkakuji has a different style of architecture for each floor. The first floor is built in the Shinden style The statues of Shaka Buddha and Yoshimitsu can we see on the first floor accross the pond (we can't see inside the buildings). The second floor used as samurai residences, built in Bukke style. And the exterior completely covered in gold leaf. Inside this floor Kannon Bodisattva is seated, surrounded by statues of the Four Heavenly Kings. But we can't see inside :(
And the third floor is built in the Chinese Zen Hall style and capped with a golden phoenix

The pond that reflects the temple beautifully is called Kyoko-chi or mirror pond. But maybe you can't see the mirror pond but ME wtf
