WESTEAST Posted January 20 #1 Share Posted January 20 To avoid a long queue for tickets, we are thinking of purchasing advance admission tickets to Nijo-jo Castle/Ninomaru-goten Palace online (https://nijo-jocastle.city.kyoto.lg.jp/ticket/?lang=en); tickets are valid for use within 3 months from the date of purchase. However, can't seem to find advance online tickets for Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) - has anyone purchased tickets online and if so, could you provide link? Thank you.

No online ticket, but no queue because multiple ticket counters and mostly purchase with exact change. Inexperienced tourists create queue 😜. It’s a one way out of the pavilion and can get crowded. Visiting really early in the day or during off-peak season! https://www.shokoku-ji.jp/en/kinkakuji/access/ https://www.shokoku-ji.jp/en/kinkakuji/guide/ Most attraction admission tickets are collective item: The Kinkakuji ticket is a paper replicates a talisman and is quite fragile. But it is probably the most unique ticket I’ve ever gotten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. Pay ¥500 for your talisman ticket, do your photo session and follow the one way trail, done in 30 min. This August when I will be in Kyoto again, will visit Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) and Philosopher's Path . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
