What do practicing local Buddhists think of tourists overrunning the temples?

I’m in Kyoto, and went to see the famous gold and silver pavilion zen Buddhist temples, both of which were stunningly gorgeous but also completely mobbed with tourists. The amount of people made the serenity of the temples a lot harder to appreciate. I also saw that these temples view the admission fee as an act of worship.

In my (uneducated) view, it seems really hard to commit proper acts of worship when there are a bunch of tourists wandering around and taking selfies.

What do you make of these temples being open and overrun? What do you think of admission fee being considered an act of worship?

Thank you very much. 🙂
