    Що таке Золотий павільйон?

    Кінкаку-дзі, також відомий як Золотий павільйон, є однією з найвідоміших пам'яток Кіото та об'єктом Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО.

    Побудована в 1397 році як вілла для відпочинку сьогуна Асікаги Йосіміцу, будівля була перетворена на дзен-буддійський храм після його смерті.

    Відвідування Кінкаку-дзі є обов'язковим для кожного, хто подорожує до Кіото, пропонуючи зануритись у багату історію Японії та захоплюючу красу.
