It’s one of several real shinto temples that are rare to see in the United States, although in Hawaii it’s a great experience. Not only can you see the temple, but you can also participate in rituals such as cleansing, wishing, ringing bells and others. This was one of the highlights of our last trip to Hawaii. We walked here from downtown and Chinatown, a fun and enjoyable journey to explore this part of Honolulu, really away from the tourist routes, away from the crowds of Waikiki and so on.
