The temple is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple at Uji in Kyoto Prefecture of Japan.

Surrounding the temple are large koi ponds that cover a total of 2 acres and lush Japanese gardens set against a backdrop of towering cliffs of the Koʻolau Range.

China Man’s Hat 49-479 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744 About two minutes down the road from the mac nut farm you will see an island that looks like a hat. This is Mokoli’i, also known among locals as Chinaman’s Hat because of its shape. However, ancient Hawaiian legend says it’s actually the tip of a dragon or lizard’s tail. Mokoli’i actually means “little lizard”. As the legend goes, Pele (the Hawaiian fire goddess) had a sister named Hi’iaka, who came to visit the area. While she was there, she came across a large, vicious lizard. Hi’iaka fought the lizard and chopped off its tail. The lizard flopped to the ground, so its body created the Ko’olau Mountains, and its tail flew a few hundred meters away and created the island of Mokoli’i. Kualoa Ranch 49-560 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744 Across from China Man’s Hat, you will see the commanding Ko’olau mountain range or the lizard’s body from the Hawaiian legend.
