Episode of Golden Pavilion Temple (Kinkaku-ji)
Tomo&Chouchou visited very famous temple "Kinkaku-ji (=Golden Pavillion Temple)" where is in Kyoto. We also learned Kinkakuji temple in the history class in school. So we were very excited to see the real one.
Tomo didn't imagine that Golden Pavilion Temple was not so gold as the name before visiting. But it was wrong. The temple was real gold color! So Tomo was so surprised to see the real gold temple. We have never seen such a shining gold temple in our lives!
When we went to Kinkakuji, it was sunny. We could luckily see the reflection of the Kinkaku-ji on the pond! It was so fascinating.
It was in May. We could see beautiful irises [Japanese: 菖蒲]. It was more beautiful view. We could spend lots of time for taking photos in front of the Golden Pavillion Temple, pond and iris flower. It was very worth seeing the Golden Pavillion Temple.
