Byodo-In Temple - A Slice of Japan in Oahu
Can you believe this ornate temple was built without the use of any nails? It’s true! The Byodo-In Temple was completed in 1968 to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants arrival to Hawaii. It is an exact scaled replica of the 900 year old Fuji Temple in Japan. The temple and grounds are as peaceful as they are picturesque. The Byodo-In Temple is located off Highway 83 (Kahekili) at the Valley of the Temples in the Kaneohe area of Oahu. Admission is $2 per person.
