Byodo-In Temple ... June 9,
2016
On Thursday, June 9, the five of us
drove toward the east side of Oahu to the Byodo-In
Temple. This is a non-denominational temple
located in an area known as the Valley of the Temples on
Oahu. It is a replica of a Buddist Temple
dedicated in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary
of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. It is
a fairly popular attraction in that area.
We took a number of pictures there,
including some of a waterfall. Actually this is
only about five feet tall and probably man-made.
We also bought an original painting done by Daniel Want,
a deaf Japanese artist that now lives in Honolulu.
After visiting here, we drove back to
Joint Base PHH and had dinner at Sam Choy's, one of our
favorite spots on the island.
