The Culinary Odyssey

Kinkaku-ji, located on the south bank of Mirror Lake in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Kinkaku-ji, located on the south bank of Mirror Lake in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, is officially known as Rokuon-ji. It was built during the Muromachi Shogunate in Japan and is a representative building of the Kitayama culture. In Showa 25 (AD 1950), it was once completely burned down and then rebuilt, which is today's Kinkaku-ji. The top of the temple is a pagoda-shaped structure with a golden phoenix ready to fly on it. The interior and exterior of the second and third floors are covered with gold foil. From a distance, it is dazzling and beautiful.
