Daifukuji Soto Zen Mission
Daifukuji Soto Zen Mission, Buddhist temple in Honalo, Hawaii.
The Daifukuji Soto Zen Mission features Japanese architectural elements, including a metal irimoya roof and an elevated structure supported by posts at 79-7241 Mamalahoa Highway.
The temple began operations in 1914 with Reverend Kaiseki Kodama conducting services at Hanato Store before the current structure was completed in 1921.
The temple houses significant religious artworks, including representations of Gautama Buddha, Dōgen, Keizan, Bodhidharma, and Kannon within its main hall.
The mission maintains regular operating hours and welcomes visitors interested in learning about Zen Buddhism through educational programs and community gatherings.
During World War II, the temple experienced closure and its leader, Reverend Hozui Nakayama, faced internment before reopening in February 1946.
