On Asia trips I always take those little black ankle sox from Target to wear inside temples. Remove shoes at entrance, put on sox, walk around without feet getting dirty, remove sox and put shoes back on. I carry a little ziplock bag to keep the sox in, inside my purse or tote.

Other posters are correct about dress, pants are OK but long skirt or sarong would be best. Wear a conservative shirt or top with at least elbow-length sleeves.

Have fun on your trip.
