Koloa Jodo Mission

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:41:11

Serving the local Japanese community for more than a century, this sect of Buddhism practices a form of chanting meditation. The temple on the left is the original, which dates back to 1910, while the larger temple on the right is used for a weekly service followed by a Dharma talk – everyone is welcome. For a guided tour, call ahead.

Check the website for the dates of summer Obon festivities, which feature Japanese drumming, folk dancing and more.
