Byodo-In Temple
Admission includedTucked into the Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe, Byodo-In Temple rises against a backdrop of mist-draped Ko'olau cliffs, its vermilion walls and sweeping curved roofline a striking contrast to the surrounding green. A marble Buddha presides inside, while sacred koi and black swans drift through the reflecting pond below. Byodo-In Temple invites a slower pace. The soft ring of the three-ton brass bell at the entrance sets the tone for a visit that feels genuinely removed from the rest of Oahu.
