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.
