Kyoto Day 2 - Ginkakuji Temple
Ginkakuji Temple is also called the "Silver Pavilion". It was built in 1482 by a shogun who wanted his own version of the Golden Temple except in silver. But for whatever reason the temple was never guilded in silver so it's not very impressive looking other than that it's really old and historic. They do have some pretty impressive rock garden sculptures however.
