The temple

Hawaii is an island cluster in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Located almost equally far from America and Asia, it tends to get a lot of tourists from Asia, mostly from Japan. Walking around Honolulu or other villages, you will notice a strong influence from Japanese culture. Japanese restaurants and shops can be found everywhere, while a lot of signs are written in English, Hawaiian and Japanese. Following that far Eastern influence, there are a couple of Japanese sights, like the depicted Byodo-In Temple. It is located in the Valley of the temples, a small meadow surrounded by mountains the summits of which usually disappear in the clouds. There one can find Temples and sacred buildings from various religions. Right in front of the Temple there is a calm lake and other small structures following asian style. the Valley of the Temples is a very quiet, peaceful and picturesque place and it is worth spending an hour to walk around those temples.
