The Golden Kinkaku-ji "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" in the blazing sun.



The pavilion incorporates three distinct styles of architecture which are shinden, samurai, and zen, specifically on each floor. Each floor of the Kinkaku uses a different architectural style. The first floor, called The Chamber of Dharma Waters, is rendered in shinden-zukuri style, reminiscent of the residential style of the 11th century Heian imperial aristocracy.





 
The sun shining over the Golden Kinkaku-ji Temple an inspiring site.

A covered walkway to view the small islands in the pond filled with all kinds of life.

You can really see the different styles expressed of each floor.

You can almost see each piece of gold leaf covering Kinkaku-ji Temple.

It really must be a beautiful view from the top floor.
