I've forever been enchanted with Japan, In fact it's on my top Travel Bucket List. It's just that there is something with Japan that I honestly can't fathom why the country is really close to my heart. Sometimes I told myself that perhaps I was a Japanese in my old life hahaha or maybe it's simply that there is something with Japanese culture that truly fascinates me.
To finally travel here is an ultimate dream come true!.The truth is I never expected everything, knowing the Japan is very rigid when it comes to approval and giving of visas. When I finally got mine I was ecstatic, that a week after a got my visa I flew to Japan. So here I am now enjoying everything Japan has to offer and for sure I have lots of post on cue about this amazing country!
I'm gonna debut my Japan adventure with my travel to Kyoto. The city that anyone could fall in love with. Kyoto is a little bit far from where I am staying but I wouldn't dare let the opportunity pass by by not going to this place. You see Kyoto is a memento of the ancient Japan, in there you will have a glimpse of what life was like before with its old structures, shrines, temples and lush forest that is truly enchanting.
Kinkaku-ji also known as The Golden Pavilion is one of Japan's best temple located in northwest Japan. In fact it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage. The golden pavilion was built in 1397 by a powerful statesman and when the owner died the place was converted into a zen temple.The garden and buildings , centered on the golden pavilion were said to represent the pure land of Buddha in the world. Gold foil covers the upper two levels and a shining phoenix stands on top of the shingled roof.
What I love about the place is how serene it is, walking along the path filled with lush trees is fulfilling to the soul. I mean if you are someone who is in need of a place to relax and be connected with nature this is the place to be.
One of a kind entrance ticket! a cute souvenir too.
