Kinkaku-ji, the name means Golden temple. It is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto. As the name suggests, the temple is covered in gold leaf, creating a truly striking sight. It was originally built by shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who once ruled over Kyoto. That said, getting there can be a bit tricky—it requires a ride on a crowded bus, and the area is usually packed with tourists. It definitely feels like a typical tourist spot, not a hidden gem.
