This beautiful Buddhist temple is a replica of the 900-year- old Byodo-In located in Uji, Japan. It is located in one of the most peaceful location in O'ahu - the Valley of the Temple. The valley is situated against a black-drop of tall cliffs and is landscaped with traditional lush Japanese gardens and koi ponds. Inside the Byodo-In Temple is a nine-foot Loutus Buddha. Outside a three-ton, brass Peace Bell. Upon entering we were asked to take off our shoes because they consider it holy ground. It was very peaceful there.

Cool Architecture. I didn't even know they had a Buddist temple on Hawaii. I guess that would make sense with all of the Japanese influence. Fun times!
