KINKAKU-JI TEMPLE

KINKAKU-JI TEMPLE

Historical landmark
20 mins
This Zen Buddhist temple, reflected in its adjoining “mirror pond” with its small islands of rock and pine, is perhaps the most widely recognized image of Kyoto. Kinkaku-ji Temple, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, is a breathtaking sight, and a must-see for visitors to Kyoto. The golden pavilion itself is a reliquary hall, destroyed by arson in 1950 and rebuilt in 1955. The grounds depict the Western Paradise of the Buddha Amida, and illustrate the harmony between heaven and earth; the island in the middle of the pond represents Japan.

Kiyomizu-dera temple is the most popular temple in Kyoto and is world-famous for its magnificent veranda, which juts out from a mountainside, supported by 13-meter-high wooden columns. The views over the city are simply breathtaking. Beneath the main building is the Otowa Waterfall, whose water grants wishes, and in an adjacent building is a pair of “love stones” -- if you walk between them with your eyes closed, you will find true love (it is said). Kiyomizu-dera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
