The Byodo-In Temple

The Byodo-In Temple is nestled in the foothills of the Koolau Mountains.  Located at the back of a memorial park.  Large Koi fish swim peacefully in the large pond.

Occasionally, you will hear the three ton brass Peace Bell. 

You are free to enter the temple, but you need to remove your shoes.  On our tour, we were given fifteen minutes here.  Really could of spent thirty to one hour here.

If you plan on taking the city bus, it is a long walk from the bus stop to the temple.  Bring water if you for the walk, you will need it.

Gift shop is also next to the temple, to pick up souvenir's. 

E Noa Tours Oahu Hawaii

My first tour was with E Noa Tours in Oahu, Hawaii.  We were able to set the tour up, right in our hotel, which was the Hilton.  The Royal Circle Island filled pretty much of our day.  Pick up the hotel was 8:30am and returned approximately 5:30pm. 

I did like taking the tour, but you have to keep in mind; that you are on a schedule.  And it's not your schedule.  The tour guide was full of information, and was always talking. 

Tour was well worth the $69.75 per person.  Wonderful lunch at the golf course.
