Shrines at Lawai International Center

Sunday we went to the Lawai International Center. Early Japanese immigrants created 88 buddhist shrines on a steep slope, and recently the Lawai International Center restored the sacred space. Shrines like this are very rare outside of Japan.

The place was site of the Hawaiian heiau, a Taoist temple, a Shinto shrine, and a Buddhist temple.

Leilani called the shrines Buddha houses, and peeked into most of them.
