20. Byodo-In Temple in the Ko’olau Mountains, Hawaii.
This Buddhist temple located on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park might seem surreal- well, you might think you’ve stepped outside the U.S. borders.
In fact, it’s a small-scale temple of a famed Japanese temple. Over 950 years old, this temple perfectly embodies the beauty of Japanese architecture. It commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants in Hawaii, complete with meditation areas, statues, small waterfalls, and a large reflection pond.
We recommend visiting the Byodo-In Temple whenever you need a break from surviving and basking in the sun on the beautiful Hawaiian beaches!

Unfortunately I’ve been to a small number of these sites. The Temple in Hawaii was really impressive to me and my dear lady. Thanks.
Been there years ago. Worth going!
this site looks Very well discovered!
I visited the Byodo In Temple in Hawaii 3 or 4 times. Very peaceful place.
Also made it the Chapel in Arkansas, another peaceful, serene place.
Tho I didn’t see the cave, I saw the Mendenhall glacier area twice.
Wish I had known about a few of the other places listed as we were in some of the other States.
they are all incredible!
