The Honohina Hongwanji is a member of the Four Temple [Hongwanji] Council of the Hamakua Coast, along with Papaaloa, Honomu, and Papaikou Temples. In 2025, the temple was repainted in preparation for its 125th anniversary celebration and to officially welcome the Pāpa`aloa Hongwanji. 
 
Pāpa`aloa’s  Omizuya,  a sacred fountain for purification, is now at temple entrance. A  mini brass bell found in their storeroom is now mounted on a movable ohia stand. 
 
The  Honohina-Pāpa`aloa Hongwanji is now one.
For the Hakalau Kuleana, our responsibility is to care for the land, the people, and the culture. We are guided by cultural values of YESTERDAY: Engage in collective effort. Look out for each other. Honor hard work. Show respect for those who came before us. Aloha and Mālama `Aina. In 2021, Akiko Masuda added two more values to the list: Consistently show up. Whatever has to be done, jump in and do it!
