Early Morning Visit to Kinkaku-ji
Visit the World Heritage Kinkaku-ji right after its 9 AM opening and quietly appreciate the golden pavilion reflected in Kyoko Pond
Kinkaku-ji (Rokuon-ji) is a World Heritage site representative of Kyoto. To avoid crowds, right after the 9 AM opening is the best time. In the clear morning air, the golden hall reflected in Kyoko Pond has breathtaking beauty, and you can quietly appreciate the 'inverted Golden Pavilion' reflected on the water's surface. The gold leaf gleaming in the morning sun is even more divine than in daytime, and ideal for photography. After your visit, you can enjoy matcha at the tea room within the grounds, and you can also enjoy a World Heritage pilgrimage continuing through Kinukake Path to Ryoan-ji and Ninna-ji.
