About one month ago I went to Kyoto. so beautiful city , still we can feel very old age of Japan, and there are so many old temples and shrines.I heard from the taxi driver in Kyoto there are more than 300 temples!!!!But as s tourist of course you have to choose ones.
Sometimes I am asked about sightseeing of Japan. From my friends from overseas , or sometimes readers of this blog.
So today I gonna show you one very famous temple that I went one month ago. I think if you go to Kyoto , you shouldn't miss this temple. Its real name is "北山鹿苑寺(Hokuszan Rokuonji)" in Japanese. But is well known as "金閣寺(Kinkaku-ji)" in Japanese. Because as you can see the picture , it is GOLDEN("Kin" in Japanese) . So in English it is called "Golden Pavilion" or "Golden temple".
-------------------
Hace más o menos un mes fui a Kioto , una ciudad muy bonita. Todavía nos sentimos una epoca muy antigua, y hay muchos templos y suntoísta . Me ha decho el taxista en Kioto que hay más 300 templos!!!!
A veces me ha preguntado sobre hacer turismo en Japón . Desde mis amigos extranjeros, y también la gente que ha leido este blog.
Hoy voy a presentar una templo super famoso que fui hace un mes. Creo que si vas a ir a Kioto no deberías pasarlo. Su nombre realidad es "北山鹿苑寺(Hokuszan Rokuonji)" en japonés , pero se llama "金閣寺(Kinkaku-ji)" . Porque el color es oro ("kin" en japonés).

Hi Kazumi! Nice to see you back blogging. This photo of the Temple is very beautiful. I'd like to know what spiritual life goes on there... or is it just a tourist spot? Best regards, f r a n k i e
Beautiful.That's a definitely must-see in Kyoto. It fits in so well with the lake and the trees around it.
