Byodo-In Temple (Oahu, Hawaii, USA)

Remarks (September 2023):
This temple was dedicated in August 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
It is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple at Uji (Kyoto, Japan).

The temple does give very calm & peaceful feel.  The ponds have my favorite koi.
