Description

While not everyone knows that an active Buddhist mission is located in downtown Lahaina, almost everyone knows about the gigantic Buddha statue in front of it. The statue stares benevolently down at tourists and locals, who usually stop for a minute to stare back at it. Also worth a look around are the immaculately maintained grounds and the authentic Japanese architecture. After the Buddha statue, the pagoda is probably the most popular subject of photographs.
