this was so long ago but i havent posted pictures yet! went to kyoto with my parents two weeks ago.. here's kinkakuji, the golden pavillion:
it's like one of the most famous icons of kyoto..
mega huge koi in the temple's pond
and this is the zen inspired sand garden of ginkakuji, the silver pavillion. the plan to coat the temple in silver was never fulfilled, and unfortunately the pavillion was under renovation when i went there.. so all i got is this:
you can see the construction going on above.. which totally sucks because the garden is gorgeous. here are more pics:
you can see how big the sand dune is
some of the famous things in this temple are moss.. the sign below reads "very important moss (like VIP)", which is hilarious:
nice scenery:
we also went to the tempozan ferris wheel and the osaka aquarium 2 weeks ago..
the large ferris wheel at the bay area
from above, you can see the rollercoaster in universal studios:
it was super crowded at the aquarium that day.. the queue when we joined was even longer than it is here..
the aquarium is really rather interesting and is a worthwhile place to go to if u're in osaka and have the time.. 2000yen entry, and you get 100yen discount if you purchase the ferris wheel cum aquarium joint ticket. the aquarium has many levels, and you start at the top and walk downwards so that you get to see the aquatic animals from various regions in the world, like the great barrier reef, coast of panama, murray bay etc.
you also get to see lots of cool stuff like uber big fish

cute octopus
