ABOUT US
Welcome to Shingon Mission of Hawaii, founded in 1915, we are centrally located in Honolulu, within walking distance of Ala Moana Shopping Center.
The original sangha started by Japanese immigrants, brought to Hawaii seeking opportunities and a better life for their loved ones, was located near Thomas Square in 1911. Moving to our present location in the winter of 1912.
One of only three remaining structures in this particular Japanese architectural style in the United States of America, Shingon Mission of Hawaii remains an artistic jewel in the core of urban Honolulu.
