While in Kyoto, you got to go see this. It's a pavilion, or better said some rich megalomaniac's mansion, which is covered in GOLD. Yeap, remember the place where they make the golden leafs and they served us with the golden tea? Well, apparently some dude decided to put those thingies all over his house. And the result is ... of surprisingly good taste. The Japanese just know how to do these things. The way it is located right on the lake's shore in the middle of a superb natural setting, and the very simple architectural model work very well, resulting in the fact that the golden pavilion really looks like it belongs there. It blends with the environment and it is one of the beauties you definitely shouldn't miss if you land in Kyoto.
