I didn't quite have the temple to myself, but near enough.
A little bit of the magic, mystery and history of Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺) emerges in the absence of people, and I appreciate how lucky I am to experience these moments.

More about the temple⬇️

#Japan
Kinkaku-ji's (金閣寺) 600 year old Rikushū-no-matsu (陸舟之松 lit. 'Ship-shaped Pine on the Shore') is said to have been Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's (足利義満) favourite bonsai (盆栽).
After his death the Japanese white pine (ゴヨウマツ) was planted in the ground.
