I've been visiting with love and peace because there is 'Hawaii Izumo Taisha' in the middle of Honolulu
In Hawaii, where there are many Nikkei, there are actually many Japanese shrines and temples. With the palm trees swaying in the breeze, Hawaii Izumo Taisha , a separate company of Izumo Taisha, has been created in the middle of Honolulu, where pancake shops and steak shops are lined up, and there are also amulets and seal books only found in Hawaii. I actually went there.
Hawaii Izumo Taisha
Hawaii Izumo Taisha is located near Chinatown in Honolulu and has the address “215 N Kukui St, Honolulu, HI 96817”. A 10 minute drive from Ala Moana Center , Hawaii's largest shopping mall, for easy access.
The surroundings are like this. Because it is on the edge of Chinatown, walking around the city where you can see Chinese restaurant etc.
On the other side of the building, I found a “Japanese” figure that seems to forget “This is Hawaii”.
When I approached, I felt like this. It is a small site surrounded by a fence, but Izumo Taisha's torii and company are completely built. The shrine was founded in 1906 by Hawaiian immigrants, and as of 2019, it has been 113 years old.
It can not be seen in the main house, but the torii was covered with a long rope. It is said that the word '哇' is based on 'Ho Ai', which is a Hawaiian pronunciation.
The Bell of Peace, located in the foreground, was established by the City of Honolulu in 1990 to commemorate the sister city of Honolulu and Hiroshima (1960).
I went straight through the torii, and there was a hand water store on the right. At first glance it is the same as Japan ...
It is only in the United States that a paper towel is installed.
If you move on in the middle, although it is generally small, a large rope was hung like the main hall of the main house.
It looks like this from a 360-degree view of the state of the Izumo large company in Hawaii.

A small dog sits down on the left and right sides of the main hall ...
Despite the slick look, she was wearing a
Ring the bell under the large rope in the middle of the stairs ......
I will go up the stairs again.
The courtesy of the politeness was written 'Iraku, 4 applauses, 1 Rime' unique to Izumo Taisha, which is different from the general '2 reries, 2 applauses, 1 Iregi.'
This is what it looks like in the main hall.
In addition, it is necessary to use the American money instead of the Japanese yen.
In building where solar panel was installed next to the main hall ......
There is a office called 'IZUMO OFFICE'. Besides accepting prayers here ...
Here we deal with amulets and stickers that can only be purchased at Izumo Taisha.
Child protection and academic protection such as 'Hawaii Izumo Taisha' written. All feel colorful and cute.
Speaking of Izumo Taisha, there was also a connection.
Amulets written in English such as 'Business' 'Love' 'HAPPINESS' are unique to Hawaii.
It was related to the Honolulu marathon, there was also a marathon amulet. Amulets vary in price depending on the item, but they cost around $ 5 to $ 8 (about 560 to 890 yen).
Hawaii-like colorful atmosphere with Ema and bills.
So I actually purchased a seal pad. The price is $ 12 (about 1340 yen), and it looks like this Hawaiian.
Some of them were stamped with a description of the date of purchase. The 'Traffic safety' seal with a heart mark is affixed, and it looks like a love and peace.
In addition, please note that you can not use it as a souvenir, as you can only purchase your personal seal. Also be careful not to use the yen, as it is necessary to make a change in dollars or cents. Business hours are from 8:30 am to 17:00 and can not be visited outside the hours. The surrounding Chinatown is one of Honolulu's 'not safe' places, so it is recommended to visit in bright hours.
