What to expect
Kula Shofukuji Shingon Mission is a Koyasan Shingon Buddhist temple on the slopes of Haleakala in upcountry Kula, Maui. Over a century old, the temple has been maintained by many generations of loyal congregants, whose family names are enshrined in the hillside cemetery overlooking central Maui. It is a member mission of the Koyasan Shingon Mission of Hawaii, the umbrella organization established in 1915 to govern Koyasan Shingon temples across the Hawaiian Islands.
