Description:

Tucked away on the shore, north of Lahaina town, on Ala Moana Street, lies the surprisingly serene Lahaina Jodo Mission and its huge statue of the Amida Buddha, largest outside Asia. Made of copper and bronze, it measures twelve feet high and weighs three and a half tons. This Great Buddha was completed in June, 1968, in commemoration of the centennial of the immigration of the first Japanese to Hawai`i. The Mission's other marvel, the largest temple bell in the state of Hawai`i, is rung eleven times each evening at eight o'clock.
