    The Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) itself is truly impressive. Even without bright sunshine, the temple covered in gold leaf has a very special look and is beautifully reflected in the pond in front of it. The combination of the golden building, the tranquil water, and the gardens makes the place a real highlight.
