Kinkaku-ji Temple, officially known as Rokuon-ji, is located in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. While not the famous Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, this temple offers a serene and historical experience. According to one review, a visitor on a school trip learned that the golden pavilion is actually a relic hall within the larger Rokuon-ji temple complex. With a budget of under ¥1000, it's an affordable destination. Visit in the morning to best enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
