TheKyoto Gardens of Honolulu Memorial Park is acemetery located in the eastern half of the Honolulu Memorial Park, 22 Craigside Place,Honolulu,Hawaii. Its three-tiered Sanju Pagoda, the Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Mirror Gardens are fine examples of Japanese traditional-style structures and gardens built outside Japan. The gardens were listed in theNational Register of Historic Places as site 04000020 on February 11, 2004.[2]
Honolulu Memorial Park was established in 1958, and itsBuddhist Kinkaku-ji memorial and Sanju Pagoda were constructed between 1964 and 1966 as part of the Nuʻuanu Memorial Gardens Funerary Home, adjacent to historyOahu Cemetery. This name was changed to Kyoto Gardens in 1966 when the City ofKyoto,Japan, donated a bronze bell, with Abbot Jikai Murakami of Kyoto's Kinkaku-ji present for the opening.
Both the Sanju Pagoda and Kinkaku-ji serve ascolumbariums. As of 2006 they were in poor repair, due to the cemetery's financial difficulties.[4][5]
