Windward Buddhist Temple held its annual visit to the Bellows Japanese Cemetery in Waimanalo, where Rev. Sol Kalu performed an Obon service. Access to the cemetery by the public is restricted as it is located on an active military base.
There are a little over 40 grave markers at the cemetery, most erected in the early 1900s. Many are believed to have been connected to the Waimanalo Sugar Plantation, the nearby dairy farm, or Waimanalo Hongwanji.
Mahalo to the Marine Corps for escorting our group to the cemetery.
