ویژگیهای کلیدی
Kinkaku (Reliquary Hall) — three tiers, with about 20 kg of gold leaf on the upper two; topped by a phoenix in the Zen Buddhist style. The reflection in Kyoko-chi pond is the classic frame
Kyoko-chi Pond — punctuated by nine borrowed islands and stones; on a windless day, a perfect mirror, especially after rain
Rikushu Pine — said to have been planted by Yoshimitsu, this ~600-year-old pine is pruned to resemble a boat
Sekkatei Tearoom — an Edo-period tea pavilion visited by Emperor Gomizunoo; its name evokes «watching the Golden Pavilion glow at sunset»
Snow-capped Kinkaku — central Kyoto sees snow only a handful of times a year, making the snow-and-gold contrast a once-in-a-lifetime subject
