Places to Visit in Japan: Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto’s Golden Gem
In the shadow of Kyoto’s northwestern hills, sits a jewel of the ancient capital: Rokuon-ji temple, better known as Kinkakuji, or the Golden Pavilion. Discover this beautiful building and its secrets.
The Magic of Kinkaku-ji
Well hidden at the foot of the mountains of Kyoto, this famous Buddhist temple welcomes some of the largest numbers of visitors per year.
Get your sunglasses ready, this is one dazzling temple! At the door of the temple, an entry ticket, a slip of Japanese calligraphy, well worth its price, allows you entry to an immersive and poetic experience.
A tree-lined road leads you to the pond, in the middle of which stands Kinkakuji, showing off its golden exterior. Despite its small size, the majesty of the building is undeniable. Perched on this three-storey building is a phoenix, which dazzles the people coming to admire the monument.
The Architecture of Kinkaku-ji
Kinkakuji is far from the usual sobriety of Buddhist architecture. Its walls, covered with gold leaf, are perfectly reflected in the surrounding pond; which makes the place particularly photogenic in all seasons. The pavilion brings together three types of architecture: the ground floor follows the style of the palaces of the Heian period (794 – 1185), the first floor that of the houses of the samurai, finally the second floor respects the style of the Zen temples.
Along the stretch of water, the walk punctuated by pine trees leads you to the foot of the building and where you will see magnificent landscapes as the rocky islets are revealed, arranged according to the codes of Zen aesthetics. Unfortunately, it is impossible to enter the pavilion, which hides its many secrets from ordinary people. The building houses relics of Buddha.
