Kyoto's Kinkaku-ji

One of Kyoto's most famous attractions

Kyoto was named the world's best city by Travel and Leisure in 2014, and when you visit gardens like Kinkaku-ji (also called the Golden Pavilion), it is easy to see why. It also attracts a large number of local and overseas visitors, so the place is best visited in the early morning or late afternoon. However seeing groups of Japanese school children here adds to its own charm.

Officially named Rokuon-ji, the original temple was founded in 1397. However, the present structure dates from 1955, when it was rebuilt after being burned down five years before.
