The first time I heard about Kinkaku-ji Temple was in 2012 when I was reading The Temple of the Golden Pavilionby Yukio Mishima. This great novel depicts the incident where a young Buddhist acolyte burned the Golden Pavilion back in 1950. Since then I fell in love with it and put it on my bucket list (I recommend reading the book though).
