Talk about eye candy: the gold-plated main hall of this immensely popular temple in
northwest Kyoto is probably the most impressive sight in all Kyoto - especially if your
tastes run to the grand and gaudy. The main hall rises above its reflecting pond like an ap-
parition. If you are lucky enough to be there on a bright sunny day, you almost need
sunglasses to look at it. Go early on a weekday morning to avoid the crush of people that
descend on the temple each day.
