Did I also mention it was a hot day? The sun was relentless. At least the humidity in Japan is lower, so it's more manageable.

With Kiyomizu-dera covered, we descended through the crowd again and took the bus towards Ginkaku-ji (銀閣寺). Apparently, it's official name is Jisho-ji (慈照寺), but for the most part, it's still referred to as Ginkaku-ji, including the surrounding area.

Ginkaku-ji isn't the most popular landmark, but there were still quite a number of people there. What I found the most interesting was the sand structures seen right as you stepped inside.
