The park features a 1968 replica of the 11th-century Phoenix Hall of the Byodo-In Buddhist temple complex in Uji, Japan. Inside the main part of the temple is a 9 feet (2.7 m) Amida Buddha statue sitting on a gold lotus leaf.[1]
Also on the grounds are large Catholic statues depicting the Passion of Christ, the Virgin Mary, various Catholic saints, crypts and mausoleums of some of the most influential people in Hawaiʻi. Most notable of those interred at the mausoleums of the Valley of the Temples is Walter F. Dillingham, Hawaii entrepreneur and statesman. For a time, former Philippine PresidentFerdinand E. Marcos was interred at a private mausoleum overlooking the Byodo-In temple.[2]
The Byodo-In temple was seen several times in the popular television show Lost as the estate of Sun-Hwa Kwon's father in the Season 1 episode, "House of the Rising Sun,"[3][4] and was later used as the backdrop for Sun and Jin-Soo Kwon's marriage in the Season 5 finale, "The Incident."[4] The temple was also used in season two, episode seven of Magnum P.I. entitled "Tropical Madness" in 1981 and in the season eight episode "Tigers Fan" in 1987. The temple was also used in season two, episode nine of the original Hawaii Five-O series, entitled "The Singapore File," first broadcast 11/19/1969 and in the second part episode "F.O.B" Honolulu".
