Byodo-In, Buddhist temple in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, United States.

The Byodo-In Temple features a grand hall housing a nine-foot golden Lotus Buddha statue, surrounded by reflecting ponds filled with koi fish.

Constructed in 1968, this temple commemorates the centennial anniversary of Japanese immigration to Hawaii, replicating the original Byodoin Temple in Uji, Japan.

The temple includes a three-ton brass peace bell that visitors ring before entering, following Japanese Buddhist customs of purification and contemplation.

Located at the foot of the Koolau Mountains, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM for meditation, photography, and exploration.

The temple structure spans 11,000 square feet and incorporates concrete materials, differing from its Japanese counterpart's traditional wooden construction.
