While this review mainly focuses on the bon dance event, I feel that how a temple runs their event is a direct reflection on the temple itself, the minister and the congregation.

[HANDICAP PARKING: ] Originally I was told that there be only two handicap parking stalls available at the top (there is a ramp that leads to an elevator so that is definitely a plus) and was also told that other than that you have to park at the Mission School which is not handicap accessible (distance & stairs). BUT on the actual day the information I stated before hand was different that day. In fact there was much more available then just the two so that was really good.

[FOOD: ] They had PICKLED MOUNTAIN APPLE which i can't stress how good it is. I ended up buying several containers to hand out to friends in case they came late and it was already sold out. I wish there was more tsukemono but I understand why it couldn't be helped.

To me when a temple takes the time to consider people that are either disabled or handicap it shows their compassion which is very important to Buddhist especially during Obon.
