Kinkaku-ji Temple / The Golden Pavilion (金閣) (How to go , what to expect)

I didn’t know about this place until my dad mentioned it, so we added it to our itinerary!
The temple was a bit far from Suntory Kyoto Brewery, so I decided to take a cab instead of commuting to save time. The cab was expensive, but I realized it was a good choice since we arrived just before closing time!

This is how it would’ve looked if we had taken public transportation.

The temple was far from the brewery. If you want to visit here, I think it would be better to drop by if you also have plans to visit Fushimi Inari and the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.

I think we arrived around 4 PM, and we bought our tickets onsite.

used my card to pay!

there’s a restroom where you can visit before you enter

We walked around, took some pics, and bought some omamori (cash only)!

all photos were taken using an iPhone 17 Pro Max / Fujifilm X-T20 18-55 mm

I only realized how big Kyoto is after this day trip. I’ll definitely try to stay longer here if I ever come back. One day is really not enough!
