Kinkaku-Ji

Today I took a ride out to Kinkaku-Ji. This is known as the Golden Pavilion. It is gold coloured and looks like it is floating over the lake.


It was pretty stunning to see. But as the guide book had warned it was quite busy. I didn´t think a Monday morning could be so popular with temple-goers...

This is the opposite side of the lake:



It was crowded but quite regimented - the groups of children all wore hats and the guides had flags and marched them round! It was an interesting study of human behaviour.



I especially like the tickets for entry, which were on this lovely paper.
