Honohina Cemetery was established in the early 1900s to serve the Japanese community in Honohina. This cemetery is not shown on the plantation maps from 1947. 

​Because Honohina was occupied by mostly sugar workers, the town disappeared with the demise of the sugar industry in that area in the 1970s. A Buddhist temple located on a hill above the cemetery was relocated to the nearby town of Ninole, from where it administers and maintains the cemetery today.
