What to expect

Kinkakuji Temple
1h · Admission ticket not included

Kinkakuji Temple (approximately 60 minutes) Please cover your own expenses.

The real name of Kinkakuji Temple is Luyuan Temple. The gold foil decorations on the outer walls of the temple's core building, the Relic Hall, are nicknamed "Kinkakuji Temple". The temple was originally built in 1397 as the villa of General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the prototype of General Toshi in the anime "Smart Ikkyu". It was later changed to the "Bodhi Temple" of the Zen temple.

During the maple leaf season, visiting Kinkakuji Temple will be a breathtaking sight, with the golden Kinkakuji Temple and the red leaves all over the mountain.
