Fodor's Review:

This mission, established at the turn of the 20th century by Japanese contract workers, is one of Lahaina's most popular sites, thanks to its idyllic setting and spectacular views across the channel. Although the buildings are not open to the public, you can stroll all of the grounds and enjoy glimpses of the 90-foot-high pagoda, as well as a great, 3.5-ton copper and bronze statue of the Amida Buddha. It's a relaxing and contemplative spot just outside the tumult of Lahaina Town. If you're nearby at 8 any evening, listen for the temple bell to toll 11 times; each peal has a specific significance.

Cost: Free.
