Owner:  Lahaina Jodo Mission (LJM)

Lahaina Jodo Mission, a 501(c)(3), is a historic Buddhist temple, which has been long cherished by Maui residents and visitors alike. Founded in 1912 to support the spiritual needs of Japanese immigrants in Lahaina, the Mission has grown to serve the diverse community of Lahaina through its cultural, educational, and religious activities and programs and its welcoming spirit. Over the years, its dedicated board of directors, led by resident minister Rev. Gensho Hara, has managed the grounds of the Mission. 

In 1968, a fire destroyed the original plantation-style temple structure. In response, members at the time envisioned a new Buddhist cultural park to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese contract workers to Hawaii in 1868. This resulted in the construction of a new temple and three-tiered pagoda built in traditional Japanese-style architecture and completed in 1970. The Mission has provided a serene gathering place and functioned as a venue for workshops, free public concerts, and movie nights. Its inclusive approach can also be seen through its engagement with the community in such events as its bi-monthly farmer’s market, which was created to bring together the community in an outdoor space during the pandemic lockdown.
