Long known for its peaceful ambience, this area became a favorite refuge for Japanese plantation workers, who erected a simple sanctuary on the site. To mark the centennial anniversary of the Japanese presence in Hawaii, a large Buddha statue was installed here in 1968. It accompanies beautifully-kept grounds, a pagoda, and a reproduction of that first temple. Although the buildings aren't accessible to the public, the grounds are a terrific place to experience the quietness and beauty of this otherworldly spot.
