I first learned about Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto from the famous book of the same name written by an outstanding Japanese author, Yukio Mishima, when dealing with an essay writing service uk about Japanese literature. When my dream came true and I visited Japan this year, I was lucky to see this marvelous place on my own. The Golden Pavilion turned to be one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen .

There is only one place I can compare with the Golden Pavilion: it is the Tokyo Imperial Palace complex with its incredible East Park. However, while the East Park looks calm but very progressive, the Golden Pavilion makes one think time has stopped in Japan. "Floating" on the water, the traditional Japanese building impresses one with its harmony, lightness and aesthetical interaction with its environment.

In 1950, the Temple was incinerated by a mad monk.   However, the culture of the Japanese nation has a distinctive feature: the ability to rise like Phoenix from the ashes. We could see it at the beginning of the 20th century, after the World War II or even after the recent earthquake and the catastrophe at the Fukushima power plant (well, the topic of my current custom research papers). The Golden Pavilion did not become an exception: it was precisely reconstructed, with the golden plating being thickened.   Now it stays one of the most popular places to visit in Kyoto.
