Sha SkeeNovember 13, 2014Nice enchanted walk, buy fish food at their gift shop and be prepared to be followed! Kids (2&3 yr old) enjoyed this so much. Remove shoes before heading inside the temple and light an incense.
- Preferred TravelerDecember 30, 2013Hidden in the Valley of the Temples, this is a replica from Japan. This is a great place to just hang out and relax, maybe eat your packed lunch before heading back out to the beaches.
Mariko KisadaJanuary 5, 2014Well worth the $3. Even if you've been before, the light here always changes the character of the grounds and a repeat visit is never a waste of time.
BrianMay 1, 2017$3 to get in. Nice, peaceful little area to check out, but won't take more than 30 minutes to see everything.
Linette HollandsworthDecember 28, 2014Such a serene spot. I could go here in a nice quiet day and just relax. A lot of tourist today but it was still peaceful.
Tomiana DeBellisMarch 9, 2016Beautiful, serene location! Make sure you ring the bell and clear your mind before you enter.
Mark SherwinOctober 1, 2016Arrive early in the morning to avoid crowds and bring bug spray. Above all else please be respectful and teach that to your children as well![[Princess]](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/U50M5E4J12PXBVYC.jpg "[Princess]")
This temple is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist place of worship at Uji in Kyoto prefecture of Japan.
Deborah EllisJanuary 24, 2015Beautiful amazing architecture... Great place to clear your head. Calming, beautiful grounds and loved the gift shop.- E's ClosetApril 17, 2012One of the most beautiful places we've ever visited! Take some quiet time to absorb the beauty and tranquility around you....and don't forget to ring the bell. :-)
JNETOctober 20, 2014Serene place to visit. Ring the bell, feed the birds and appreciate the beauty :)
Al MDecember 7, 2010I agree with the others on the $1 bag of bird/fish food. Feeding the doves out of your hand is a lot of fun! The bag of food is generous and will last a while
Pauwilo on Krater 96 FM (HNL)April 10, 2012Admission $3 adults, $2 seniors, $1 12y and under. There are koi, peacocks, and black swans on property.
- Matt JohnsonDecember 15, 2010I agree with everyone else, spend $1 to feed the fish and birds, it's a lot of fun. The birds will eat right from your hand if you let them.
Peter InouyeMay 13, 2011The temple is located behind the cemetaries, in the Valley of the Temples. There may be some mosquitoes here.
A hidden gem, but a beautiful place to visit and to reflect.
Ami K-MFebruary 11, 2012Make a donation in the store and at the statue after feeding the koi and birds.
Mary MacSeptember 25, 2010Just $1.00 for a big bag of fish and bird food. Guaranteed fun and excitement when the fish jump for their food.
Trent BellewNovember 19, 2010Feeding the koi is standard stuff, but having the birds land on your wrist and eat out of your hand is FUN!
Anaïs BarretFebruary 16, 2018On se croirait vraiment au Japon alors que nous n’avons pas quitté le territoire américain. Dépaysement total.
