Hawaii is a beloved travel destination where shopping, food, and sweets offer something new to discover with every visit. As rising prices and a weak yen make overseas travel increasingly out of reach, this event delivers seven days where visitors can enjoy the feeling of a Hawaiian vacation without leaving Kyoto. Authentic, locally loved dishes gather for the occasion, including the Loco Moco Bowl from Rainbow Drive-In and the Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie from Ted's Bakery, both making their first appearance at the event. Fashion, goods, and art round out the lineup, along with hands-on content such as hula dance shows, ukulele live performances, and workshops. It's a special experience where visitors can enjoy the charm of Hawaii with all five senses.
