Golden Pavilion
It’s not just gold that’s shining right now at one of Japan’s most beautiful historical sites.
World Heritage-listed Golden Pavilion is currently covered up for repairs, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to see the building.
After looking at the brilliant gold leaf covering the World Heritage-listed temple, you can now eat it too, in a beautifully presented ice cream cone.
