The next stop was Ginkakuji, or Silver Temple, a short 20 minute bus ride away. I liked this monument a lot better than the Golden Temple. It was far less crowded, and the grounds were simply spectacular. The temple itself wasn't silver, but we overheard a guide telling his charges that the temple appears silver when moonlight shines on it.
