Honolulu Myohoji Mission is a Nichiren sect temple located in Nuuanu, a natural area said to be inhabited by Hawaiian spirits.
With a long history established in 1931, this temple has always served as a spiritual haven for visitors.
The main hall enshrines the only Busshari (Buddha’s ashes) in Hawaii that came from India.
It is also popular as a power spot, as it is a place where you can be healed by the murmuring of the river and the pleasant breeze.
Why not visit for worship? You can offer prayers for a wide range of occasions, including not only New Year’s visits but also warding off evil, memorial services, and weddings.
The Power Spot at Honolulu Myohoji Mission
A small river flows right near the temple grounds, and it is said that the Dragon God lives there.
It offers an atmosphere where you feel as if you are in Japan, despite being in Hawaii.
No matter when you visit, you can hear the gentle sound of the flowing river and the chirping of small birds, making it a wonderful place that puts you in a very relaxed mood.
The Goshuin (temple stamp) you can receive depicts the figure of the Dragon God, so it will surely be a great memory of your trip!
When visiting, please go near the river, close your eyes for a moment to meditate, and feel the nature of Hawaii.
