KINKAKU-JI

The golden temple. 

The way the light shines off of this golden building was blinding. Between that and the snow lying on the ground, I felt like I should have been wearing sunglasses! It was a gorgeous place, albeit much smaller than I had anticipated. It was well worth the visit, even if just to snap a few pictures. I couldn't visit Kyoto and not make the trek up to the golden temple.
