4) Kinkakuji

This was built in the 14th Century. The building is a three-storied pavillion and is covered in gold leaf. The building was rebuilt in 1955 as it was burned down by a monk in 1950. The golden building sits amongst trees and on the edge of a lake and reflects the golden evening light beautifully.
