Hayashi initiated and trained Hawayo Takata and helped her bring Reiki to Hawaii.

[2] In 1918 he became a Director of Ominato Port Defence Station where Kanichi Taketomi (later to become the 3rd chairman of Usui Ryoho Gakkai) was the Chief of Staff.

"Ominato" was a port located at the foot of Mt Osore, Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori, in the North of Japan.

His wife, Chie, was born in 1887 and married him after she graduated from Shizuoka Women's High School.

In 1925 Hayashi became a Shihan, and on January 16, 1926, he became a senior teacher and a board member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai.

[8][9] Chujiro Hayashi ended his life at his villa in Atami – a hot spring resort near Mt Fuji – on May 11, 1940.

In Jikiden Reiki the original teachings are unchanged, the course content is identical to what Chiyoko Yamaguchi and other family members learned from Chujiro Hayashi in the 1930s.
