In addition to the culturally interesting aspects of this place, it is a good place to escape the busyness of downtown Lahaina and take a break. And, the Amida Buddha and the Temple Bell are worth seeing.

My husband and I walked thru the mission and it was amazing. Such a peaceful experience and something that we read about online and wanted to visit. We were the only ones there at the time and really got to fully experience this amazing place at our leisure. Highly recommend visiting!

Not exactly a secret ... but the Lahaina Jodo Mission is a little off the well-beaten tourist path. If you are Lahaina, and need a break from the shops, and crowds, this place is well worth a short visit. A visit to the Jodo Mission will appeal to anyone who wants to experience the culture of an area. I wanted... More

There is very little information posted for visitors to read but it is an interesting stop off the beaten path. It is across the road from a traditional Polynesian cemetery which is also interesting to view.

The day we went there had been a rain shower hours before. When we got there, a beautiful rainbow was above us, reminding us of eternal... More

The Lahaina Jodo Mission is a compact, pretty Buddhist center. It is very well presented and maintained. Definitely worth stopping for a contemplative few minutes. A small offering is in order.

If you are looking for a little peace and quiet away from hectic Front Street, this is the place to go. The grounds are small but interesting to walk through and the Buddha statue is amazing to look at. There is a small cemetary covered in sand across from the mission as well that is worth a look but look... More

Short and pleasant stop that makes you think about the people that make up Hawaii. Good photo op and by the beach.
