Community Event
In Person
Wahiawa Ryusenji Soto Mission
164 California Ave. Hawaii, United States of America

Date: July 20, 2018 – July 21, 2018



Join Wahiawa Ryusenji Soto Mission in its celebration of Obon, a Japanese tradition based in a rich sense of culture and family. Come to enjoy a night of family fun with food and dance in honor of the ancestors who have come before us!

With over 100 years of history and tradition, Wahiawa Ryusenji Soto Mission stands on California Avenue in Wahiawa, where it continues to unite all members in the spirit of “ohana” or “family-ness." In this land of tradition and history of many immigrants from Japan and other parts of the world, a unique culture has been established - one you will not see anywhere else in the world. Feel free to drop by on your way to the North Shore and enjoy the local breeze of Wahiawa Ryusenji Soto Mission.

Friday, 7/20 - 7:00-10:00 p.m.

Saturday, 7/21 - 7:00-10:00 p.m.
