Long Descending Staircase to Exitby walterwu
The entry and exit system at the Golden Pavilion is rather unique. Entrance through ticket booth and Exit through another path which is not manned nor controlled. Virtually, everyone can get entrance to the Golden Pavilion (without paying) if they mistakenly goes through the Exit path.
I almost did but then realised that it better to follow the crowd's heading.
Directions: Take Bus No. 101 or 205 from Kyoto Station and follow the rest of the passengers when they alight from the bus. Can't miss it as the bus is very crowded (well most of the time).
