Temples made of Silver

This is called Ginkakuji - the Silver Pavilion. I think they really just felt sorry for it because the gold one was so pretty with an awesome title. This one AT LEAST deserved an awesome title...even if its not made of Silver...




I realized that it is highly possible I did this wrong and that the gods will kill me. You typically throw a coin somewhere ( though here I didn't see a place) you ring the bell, and bow twice (kind of deeply), clap your hands twice and pray. And then bow again. If you see an area to wash your hands ( with things that look like ladles) you are supposed to do so...even if the water is buttfreezingcold.
