Byodo-In Temple

Aloha!  The Byodo-In Temple is located at the foot of the Ko'olau Mountains in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park.  It was established on June 7, 1968, to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.  The temple is built entirely without nails.  It is a scale replica of a temple in Uji, Japan, that was constructed over 950 years ago.  The Byodo-In Temple is a non-denominational Buddhist temple which welcomes people of all faiths to worship, meditate or simply appreciate its beauty.










Aloha!
Sue.
