Ginkaku-ji, the Silver Pavilion is one more temple. Despite the name it is not cast in silver (in difference to Kinkaku-ji which really is gilded, but that's a temple that I didn't make it to). What is worth the visit to Ginkaku-ji is in any case the garden. This mega-hedge is the way into the place.
