K?loa Jodo Mission
K?loa Heritage Trail — Ka Ala Hele Waiwai Ho‘olina o K?loa
Buddhist temples provided Japanese immigrants a place to worship, study their language, learn martial arts and participate in social events. This Jodo Mission used a specialist in temple architecture from Japan to build the large temple’s interior. Hand-painted, wooden ceiling tiles were a gift from he Japanese artist who rendered them.
