(like VIP)

In the beautiful city of Kyoto there is a temple among a great many called Ginkakuji (the Silver Temple). It's not as flashy as Kinkakuji (the Golden Temple), but it's understated and so all the cooler, many people like myself will argue. It lies on the mountainside on the north end of the Philosopher's Walk. The hike uphill is made easier by the distraction of sweets and treats and souvenirs of all varieties, and the delicious smell of roasting tea and rice cakes...
Once inside the Temple grounds, as this photo demonstrates, you will find that there exists some Very Important Moss.
Enough said?
