Support Buddhist History: Volunteer at Caring Days Lawai International Center

Lawai Shrine

Nestled in a healing valley revered for centuries, Lawai International Center offers a unique glimpse into cultural harmony. This non-profit gem boasts 88 miniature shrines, built in 1904 by Japanese immigrants to replicate an ancient pilgrimage route in Japan.
