The Golden Pavillion, Kyoto Japan


The Golden Pavillion within its magnificent grounds was completely breathtaking. The vast lake it appears to be floating on is known as Kyoko-cho - Mirror Pond and contains many small islands. Winding pathways lead worshipers (and plenty of tourists) through the enourmous grounds past waterfalls, tea houses and shrines which are all stunning. The Japanese seem to get it right every time!
