As you cross the wooden bridge to enter the temple grounds you will surely get the feeling that you are traveling to a place far different than anywhere else in Hawaii.
A short walk will take you to a five-foot, three-ton brass Peace Bell located on your left. This large bell that can be heard throughout Kahaluʻu when rung.
Ringing the bell will purify the mind of evil spirits and temptation. It is said that ringing this bell will bring you happiness, blessings, and a long life. It is customarily rung before entering the temple.
