Koboji is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Honolulu, serving Hawaiʻi since 1947.

Koboji is dedicated to Kobo Daishi, Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism. Known affectionately as Odaishisama, Kobo Daishi is at the heart of our temple's religious life. We gather in gratitude for his continuing compassion and guidance and seek to put his teachings into practice.

​

Whether your family has been connected with Buddhism for generations or you are visiting a Buddhist temple for the first time, you are welcome to pray with us.

A minister can pray with your family, answer questions, and help you understand Buddhist customs and the arrangements that may come later.

If someone you love is elderly, seriously ill, receiving hospice care, or approaching the end of life, we encourage you to contact Koboji before death occurs.

Prepare for the End of Life

Koboji offers Buddhist funeral and memorial services and can guide your family through the 49th Day, 100th Day, annual memorials, and other observances.

Funerals & Memorials

Koboji offers prayers and blessings for individuals and families, health, homes, vehicles, businesses, travel, and important occasions throughout life.
