The Jodo Shu Mission is a temple, cemetery, and the first sanctioned Buddhist temple in Hawai’i. It was built in 1896 and originally named the “Hāmākua Bukkyo Kaido”, later renamed Hāmākua Jodo Mission. The total cost to build the temple was $3,000, and it was built in between five former sugar plantations. Visitors often come to visit the grave of Katsu Goto, a leader of the Japanese community who died fighting for the rights of immigrant laborers, as this is an important part of Hawai‘ian history.
