"Magnificent Example of Japanese Architecture Built in the 14th century as a villa for a powerful shogun, Kinkaku-ji temple, commonly referred to as the Golden Pavilion, is an easy bus ride from the main bus terminal in Kyoto . Thetemple isone of the most popular buildings in Japan ,so expect a lot of fellow gawkers. It exemplifies several different Japanese architecture styles, and the top two levels are completely covered in gold leaf.The extensive gardens are beautifully manicured and serene, despite the abundance of visitors using selfie sticks."
