Lahaina Jodo Mission

There are many Japanese here in Hawaii, so when you see Lahaina Jindo Temple, the first feeling is very much like the temples in Kyoto. Very quiet place, not many tourists, and the surrounding area is very good.

This Jodo Temple is a replica of an authentic Japanese Buddhist temple. Inside the temple there is a tall stupa and a huge bronze Buddha statue, which is also one of the largest Buddha statues outside of Asia. It is 3.7 meters high and weighs about 3.5 tons. It was placed here in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. The monastery is free.
