Kyoto, Japan [Part 5]

Here's part 5. This will most likely be the last update in regards to my Japan trip.

Ginkaku-ji - temple of the silver pavilion.

This is what happens when you don't bother taking notes during the trip - you forget wherever 'here' is when you go back to view your own pictures. Needless to say, this is another one of Japan's many temples.

I may not remember where 'here' is, but at least I recall that you'd use the water here to cleanse yourself spiritually, at least that's what the people here believed.

Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah my trip didn't go to all of the places I wanted to visit, but I truly enjoyed the trip nonetheless.
