Golden Pavillion
The golden pavillion really is made from GOLD!!! Each pane is pounded thinly for the wall.

| So these "trees" are really scraps of paper tied around tree branches. What I got from the guide is the scraps of paper have there prayers on it. Whatever the person wants good fortune on. |
Sanjusangendo Temple
This place was so completely interesting. There were 1001 buddha statues. They don't allow cameras into the building so unfortunately I don't have any pictures of all the statues. It was split into 3 sections. 500 buddhas in that tiered up row by row. Then the most massive buddha in the world (It must have been 50 feet tall or bigger). Then another 500 buddhas.
