Visited Byodo-In Temple with my kids and it was a big hit, especially ringing the large bell and watching the koi fish. The temple itself is beautiful and modeled after a similar one in Japan, but it’s best thought of as a tourist attraction rather than a quiet working temple. Great stop if you’re traveling with kids — feeding the fish and birds was a highlight. Works well as a break between town and the North Shore. If you’re looking for deeper quiet and contemplation in a temple chock full of artistry, Mu-Ryang-Sa Korean Buddhist Temple closer to town is a better fit.
Byodo-In Temple is a peaceful and beautifully maintained place that feels completely different from the busy parts of Oahu. The temple grounds are serene, with lush greenery, reflective ponds, and stunning mountain views that make the entire visit very calming and meditative. Walking around the temple allows you to slow down and appreciate the details—from the architecture to the koi ponds and the tranquil atmosphere. Ringing the large bell and learning about the cultural background adds a meaningful layer to the experience, even for a short visit. Tips: this is a great stop to pair with nearby attractions like Kualoa Ranch or a drive along the windward coast. Visiting earlier in the day helps avoid crowds and gives you softer light for photos. Take your time to walk around the grounds—it’s not a large place, but it’s best enjoyed slowly. Overall, a beautiful and relaxing stop that offers a moment of quiet reflection and cultural insight, surrounded by some of Oahu’s most scenic landscapes.
Admission fee is $7 per person, available limited free parking on-site, its located behind one of Oahu's largest cemetery and you will have to drive thru it to get to the temple. Their is a convenient McDonald's across from the exit of the cemetery area, tiktok calls it the McDonald's with the greatest drive thru view, as they do have limited snacks vendors and a gift store with no hot food vendors. Their is enough public restroom as portable potties with Ac and some without! Staff are very friendly, just be very respectful to all, an family traveling with kids, i recommend watch your kids as i saw kids fall into the pond multiple occasions so be mindful of your kids. Its definitely one my favorite place to come to on Oahu Island you can just feel the good energy and the serenity in the area. Great for releasing any negative energy out of your body! A beautiful scenenic place to visit they have amazing local vendors specially that eye catching WangGe Gallery pop-up Original Sand paintings just mind blowing art which i just had to add to my collection of local artists! They dont allow photos so wasn't able to show there work which i respect that so please be mindful ask vendors if photos are allowed of their art work. I also love the Koi fish ponds the ducks in the area and the peacocks. A place worth recommending and visiting!
The Byodo-In Temple, nestled at the foot of the Ko’olau Mountains in the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, is a beautiful and peaceful spot open to visitors of all faiths. You can pay the $7 entry fee online or at the gate. Inside, a large Buddha statue welcomes you, and the temple grounds feature small ponds filled with an astonishing number of fish—definitely a sight to see. On the way to the temple, you’ll pass a cemetery, which many visitors come to pay respects at. Parking at the temple can be limited when it’s busy, so some people park near the cemetery and walk over. Overall, it’s a calm, serene place and a lovely stop when visiting Oahu.
Byodo-In Temple is a fairly nice place to visit, though it is not very large. At the entrance, you can purchase a ticket for $7. The grounds are well maintained and peaceful. Inside the temple, there is a large Buddha statue that visitors can approach and view up close. On the territory, there are several small ponds with a surprisingly large number of fish. There is also a small souvenir booth available. Other than that, there is not much else to see or do. One thing worth mentioning is that on the way to the temple, you have to walk through a cemetery, which may feel a bit uncomfortable for some visitors. While the surrounding area is very beautiful, passing through the cemetery slightly takes away from the overall experience. Overall, it is a calm and interesting place for a short visit, but expectations should be kept modest.
