Kāneʻohe
A 1/3-scale replica of the 950-year-old Byodo-In Temple in Uji, Japan, set against the dramatic fluted Ko'olau cliffs. Black swans, koi ponds, and a giant brass bell. One of Oahu's most photogenic and underrated spots.
$5 adult entry. Located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park off Kahekili Hwy. Arrive before 10am to beat tour groups.
Ko'olau cliffs create drama in any weather. Misty mornings are the most photogenic.
