The temple was founded in February in 1910 by Rev. Jitsujo Muroyama and his supporters who were Japanese immigrants. The temple belongs to the Jodo Shu (Pure Land School of Buddhism) which was founded by Honen Shonin in 1175. The essence of Honen's teaching was based upon blessing by Amida Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Life and Light.

The teaching of Honen was introduced to Hawaii in 1894. Today, there are 13 Jodo shu temples throughout the Hawaiian islands.
