As the Hawaiian ocean gradually becomes more summer-like, it's a very pleasant season.
We also plan to start Hawaiian Dream Club's Hanauma Bay snorkel tour free diving lesson plan.
You can dive underwater like a dolphin and feel one with the ocean.
Even regular tours are limited to small groups, so if you can swim, you can enjoy the tour without a life jacket.

This April and May were colder than usual and there was a lot of rain, which may have delayed the blooming of the summer flower, the Shower Tree, but the Shower Tree at Kapiolani Park is now in full bloom.
Diamond Head's summer version is also starting to lose some of its greenery.
Hawaii is at its best at this time of year when the flowers are in full bloom.

Artists who are taking on the challenge in New York, the entertainment capital of the world,
This has been going on for a long time.
In recent times, borderless globalization is progressing more and more on the Internet, social media, YouTube, etc.
moreover
With the rapid development of AI
It's instantly translated and the language barrier has disappeared.
Near future,
I hope that a Japanese artist who is well known in America will be born.
My expectations are rising.
When I come to NY, I look for concerts and musicals by Japanese artists.
Please enjoy it as a new experience⭐︎

It's spawning season for the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, the famous Hawaiian state fish, and as shown in the photo, the male clings to the female, points his mouth and makes a "buzzing" noise.
Then when they start moving around with their tails touching each other, it looks like they've fallen in love.
Love stories in the underwater world are also wonderful.

I went on a farm tour to Kahuku on Hawaii's North Shore during the season when fruit is at its best.
You can tour the farm and sample Hawaii's first acai berries, delicious apples, bananas, Kahuku papayas, cacao, and more.
There is also a cafe that serves delicious farm pizza and smoothies, so it is recommended for those who want to try Hawaii's delicious vegetables and fruits.

<NYに世界最大のバンクシーミュージアムOPEN>
The mysterious street artist Banksy
Banksy Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of 160 pieces
Opening on May 15, 2024 in the Soho area of Manhattan, New York!
Speaking of Banksy,
Although based in the UK,
A mysterious artist who appears out of nowhere one day, suddenly leaving behind his works all over the world.
Expressing serious realities such as war and peace, social and political messages through humor and satire.
The message and the location of the painting,
There are pros and cons,
The work is
They have disappeared in conflict zones, or they have been erased without permission because they were drawn without permission, or they have been quickly removed without a trace for the purpose of resale...
All the works that were erased or removed
Several selected talented artists have created life-size replicas
It is being exhibited in New York, with a street atmosphere intact.
I think most of Banksy's works are viewed on small screens such as smartphone photos,
It's amazing that you can see everything here in life-size.
If you come to NY, this is a must see!
< Banksy Museum NYC >
277 Canal Street, New York, 10013
