After finish visiting Kiyomizudera, we continued move on to Ginkakuji ,銀閣寺. It is a very beautiful temple but not actually covered in silver. When we went there just knew that this temple is still under renovation. We were just abled to see the garden with same entrance fee,400 yen. We decided to change our plan and did not enter this temple. Of course, we wouldn't forget to take few photos infront of this temple.
