Kinkakuji Temple

After visiting the Toji Temple and Free Market, we go to visit the Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto. Kinkakuji is a Buddhist temple that built in year 1393. The heart of the temple complex is the Golden Pavilion (kinka-ku), situated picturesquely in its garden at the edge of a lake.

The temple is famous of its use of gold as the building materials. Actually, the upper two floor interior ceiling of the Golden Pavilion only covered with gleaming gold leaf. Other parts of it are painted gold.

The first floor of the pavilion, known as the Hôsuiin

(Temple of Dharma Water)
The second floor, called the Chôondô (Tower of Sound Waves)
The third floor is built in the style of a Buddha Hall in a Zen temple and

is known as the Kukkyôchô (Superb Apex)
