Day 5: Tuesday 3rd April 2018: Kyoto - We took a sightseeing tour and visited the UNESCO world heritage sites - the Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) and Nijo Castle. Kinkakuji is a beautiful Zen temple, once the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga in northern Kyoto, and whose top two storeys are completely covered in gold leaf. Nijo castle was built in the year 1603 as the Kyoto residence of the first shogun, Tokugawa. It is one of the best surviving examples of feudal Japan’s caste palace architecture.
第 5 天：2018 年 4 月 3 日星期二：京都 - 我们参观了联合国教科文组织世界遗产 - 金阁（金阁寺）和二条城。金阁寺是一座美丽的禅宗寺庙，曾经是京都北部将军足利的退休别墅，其顶部两层完全被金箔覆盖。二条城建于 1603 年，是第一代幕府将军德川的京都府邸。它是封建日本的种姓宫殿建筑最好的幸存例子之一。
The site of Kinkaku-ji (UNESCO World heritage site) was originally a villa called Kitayama-dai (北山第). Kinkaku-ji’s history dates to 1397, when the villa was purchased from the Saionji family by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and transformed into the Kinkaku-ji complex. When Yoshimitsu died the building was converted into a Zen temple by his son, according to his wishes. During the Onin War (1467–1477), all of the buildings in the complex aside from the pavilion were burned down.
On 2 July 1950, the pavilion was burned down by a 22-year-old novice monk, Hayashi Yoken, who then attempted suicide on the Daimon-ji hill behind the building. He survived, and was subsequently taken into custody. The monk was sentenced to seven years in prison, but was released because of mental illnesses and on 29 September 1955, he died of tuberculosis.
金阁寺（联合国教科文组织世界遗产）的遗址最初是一座名为北山台（北山第）的别墅。金阁寺的历史可追溯至 1397 年，当时别墅被足利义光将军从西园寺家族购买，并改建为金阁寺建筑群。义光死后，他的儿子按照他的意愿将这座建筑改建为禅寺。在 Onin 战争（1467-1477 年）期间，该建筑群中除凉亭外的所有建筑物都被烧毁。 1950 年 7 月 2 日，亭子被 22 岁的新僧林洋谦烧毁，他随后在建筑物后面的大门寺山上企图自杀。他活了下来，随后被拘留。僧人被判七年有期徒刑，但因精神疾病被释放，1955年9月29日，他死于肺结核。
The present pavilion structure dates from 1955, when it was totally rebuilt. The pavilion is three stories high, 12.5 meters (40 feet) in height. The reconstruction is said to be a copy close to the original, although some doubt whether such an extensive gold-leaf coating was used on the original structure. The interior of the building, including the paintings and Yoshimitsu’s statue, were also restored. Finally, the roof was restored in 2003. The name Kinkaku is derived from the gold leaf that the pavilion is covered in. Gold was an important addition to the pavilion as the gold was intended to mitigate and purify any pollution or negative thoughts and feelings towards death. Other than the symbolic meaning behind the gold leaf, the Muromachi period heavily relied on visual excesses. With the focus on the Golden Pavilion, the way that the structure is mainly covered in that material creates an impression that stands out when the effect of the sun’s reflection of the pavilion on the pond.
现在的亭子结构可以追溯到1955年，当时它完全重建。展馆三层楼高，高 12.5 米（40 英尺）。据说重建是接近原件的复制品，尽管有人怀疑原始结构是否使用了如此广泛的金箔涂层。建筑物的内部，包括绘画和吉光的雕像，也得到了修复。最后，屋顶于 2003 年修复。金阁这个名字来源于亭子所覆盖的金箔。黄金是亭子的重要补充，因为黄金旨在减轻和净化任何污染或负面思想和感受死亡。除了金箔背后的象征意义外，室町时代还严重依赖视觉过度。以金阁为重点，结构主要覆盖在这种材料上的方式，营造出一种印象，当阳光在亭子上的反射效果在池塘上时显得格外突出。
Nijo Castle: (二条城, Nijō-jō) is a flatland castle in Kyoto. The castle consists of two concentric rings called Kunruwa of fortifications, the Ninomaru Palace, the ruins of the Honmaru Palace, various support buildings and several gardens. The surface area of the castle is 275,000 square metres (27.5 ha; 68 acres), of which 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) is occupied by buildings.
It is one of the seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which have been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Day 6: Wednesday 4th April 2018: In Kyoto. After a relaxing breakfast, we took a walking tour to Kiyomizu Temple, a Temple that was nested in a nearby mountain on the eastern side of the City.
