@guo1986 But its worth mentioning that the original structure was built in the 14th century. When the original owner's son became shogun he turned it into a zen buddhism temple.

三島由紀夫の小説『金閣寺』はこの金閣寺に放火した僧侶のお話で­すね。

実際に見てみると、金閣寺は迫力がありますよ。

まさにgolden!!

北山文化の華やかさを感じさせますよ。

マルコ・ポーロ『東方見聞録』にもありますね。

黄金の国ジパング。

本当に当時黄金だった建物は中尊寺金色堂くらいだったと思います­が。

This temple was originally built quite a log time ago, but a monk at the temple fired it in 1955. The mother of the monk committed suicide right after the incident. A sad story.
