Golden Temple

35mm(no photoshop):

I remember taking this photo of Kyoto’s Golden Temple back when I used to travel to Japan a lot more.  Kyoto is the former capital of Japan and is the most traditional city in Japan. (factoid- there is a building code in central Kyoto not allowing any buildings to be over 5 stories tall) Whenever I have extra time to get out of Tokyo or Osaka, I take the bullet train and head over to Kyoto and check out ‘The’ ‘Zen’ garden, the Golden Temple and many of the different temples in Kyoto….Another cool thing you can witness in Kyoto are real Geisha’s still holding up traditions…

The original Kinkaku-ji/Golden Temple was built in 1397.
