Tips from the community
Located at the foot of the picturesque Ko'olau Mountains in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, the Byoto Temple is a magical spot for peace and reflection. Listen to the sacred bell echoing throughout the valley (and even give it a ring yourself), feed the birds, chill at one of the many koi ponds, burn incense and leave an offering, this place feels like you’ve landed in a Buddhist monastery in Japan.

sunrunnermedia (Steve "Shanghai" Brown) At the tail end of pandemic restrictions, we headed to Oahu - forced to use the credit for a trip we had to cancel in 2020 when Hawaii completely shut down tourism. It was worth the wait.Top things to do - on Oahu
sunrunnermedia (Steve "Shanghai" Brown) My list of favorite places and things to do when visiting Oahu. While Oahu is more urban and densely populated than the other island, and it is at the bottom of my list for snorkeling, it offers an incredible variety of beaches, hikes, drives, surfing, history, culture, and food. This is the island for those who love great food and an incredible assortment of dining options.
