History &
Information
Many people who visit the island of Maui, make it a point to
visit the historic whaling town of Lahaina. Much of their
exploration, however, is confined to the waterfront areas
and the historic sites nearby. Located away from downtown
Lahaina to the north on Ala Moana Street, you can find the
Lahaina Jodo Mission. This mission is one of the most
beautiful and serene places in Hawaii and one which should
not be missed.
A few years ago, the members of the Lahaina Jodo Mission
conceived the idea of building an authentic Buddhist Temple
complemented with the symbolic surroundings that are typical
of the great Buddhist temples in Japan.
The great Buddha and the Temple Bell were completed in June
1968, in commemoration of the Centennial Celebration of the
first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. In 1970, the main
Temple and Pagoda were built with the generous and
wholehearted support of the members of the mission and the
general public.
The property is owned by the Lahaina Jodo Mission. The task
of maintaining as well as improving the premises is
dependent on voluntary contributions.
