● Reopening Hanauma Bay ●
Aloha! Hanauma Bay has finally reopened from December 2nd.
With the reopening, the admission fee for non-residents has increased, but I think the major change is the number of visitors. Until now, it seems that there were about 3000 people a day on average, but for the time being, the number of visitors will be limited to 720 people a day. Until now, the park was closed every Tuesday, but it will be closed on Monday as well.
In other words, only 3600 people can enter, 5 days a week. .. .. Oh Noooo !!
We have become a world where we have to coexist with Corona, but to be honest, it feels a little inconvenient to accept various restrictions. However, on the other hand, you may be able to have a relaxing time and space like Hawaii ❤ only for you and Hawaii ❤ only for me ♬.
Have a nice weekend ♪
● Honolulu City Lights Trolley Tour ●
～ Appeared on a two-story bus this year ♬ ～
Aloha! In late October, we announced that the 2020 Honolulu City Lights will be held on a smaller scale, but this year from December 9th, the Honolulu City Lights Trolley will be held from the "Ward Center". Runs!

Unfortunately, the tour does not stop on the way, but we hope you will feel the atmosphere of Christmas.
Rumor has it that this year's Shaka Santa and Tutu Mele will be wearing masks ...
● Kauai temporarily withdraws from pre-travel inspection program! ●
Aloha! How was your weekend?
This weekend, the Governor of Hawaii approved a request from Mayor Kawakami of Kauai to "temporarily withdraw from the pre-travel inspection program in Hawaii," and all visitors to Kauai from December 2 (except some). , Even if the test result is negative, it is [14 days self-isolation required].
Please be careful if you plan to travel to Kauai.
❤ Fairy ELF ❤
After Aloha! Thanksgiving, the fairy Elf has arrived at our house this morning!
Until Christmas, the Elves will spy on whether the children who will receive gifts from Santa Claus are good boys.
The elves return to North Pole when the children go to bed and come back the next morning. It's one of the fun things for kids to get up in the morning and find out where in Elf, as they appear in many places in the house.
And today (11/27) is Black Friday. Many of this year's Hawaii Black Friday Sale has started earlier, and it seems that many have ended longer than today.
By the way, I used Rakuten's cashback to finish shopping online with Target and Macy's. Santa is influenced by Corona, but shopping while looking at the happy faces of the children is still fun.
Happy Shopping !! Yay❤
● Hawaii Pre-Travel Test Program Update ●
Aloha! If you travel from outside Hawaii using the Pre-Travel Test Program and previously arrived in Hawaii waiting for results, you will be exempt from quarantine from that point if you receive a negative proof of arrival. However, it was changed from November 24th yesterday to [14 days self-quarantine is required if there is no negative proof before traveling to Hawaii].
The rules change every day, so be sure to check the Hawaii Tourism Board website and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website before you travel.
● ZIPAIR announces Narita-Honolulu route service !! ●
Aloha! As many of you may know, Zip Air announced the launch of the Narita-Honolulu route (December-January) over the weekend. My rough calculation is that if you don't have a backpack (small), no meals or blankets, and think of it as a trip just to the site, even if it costs about $ 100 including taxes, the round trip between Japan and Hawaii is less than $ 500. !!
In the case of Hawaii from Japan, the cost is still high considering that Corona will undergo a pre-inspection for a trip to Hawaii, and considering the isolation when returning from Hawaii to Japan, it will not be a light trip to Hawaii. However, I would be happy if you could continue to fly so that you can use it as a flight option when traveling to Hawaii in the future. I hope it's not for a limited time.
☆ Moms at home with children ☆
This airline, 7 years old and over is an adult fare and under 7 years old (0-6yrs) seems to be USD 64 one way. I think that if you have children, you will have to select a seat, so it will cost a certain amount, but I hope you can use it as a reference for your next trip to Hawaii ♬
PS I don't know the name of this airline, so I was the only one who called it Zippea.
The correct answer was "Zip Air" ♡

● Sake story ② ●
Happy Aloha Friday ♡
I bought a coconut beer at Costco the other day. I put it in my shopping cart, but coconut? Eh, beer? !! After all, I thought I should stop, and I was about to return to the sales floor, but no, I am posting to Kite now, and it is a beer "limited item", so I have to try it! I thought, I drank it.
It ’s an interesting taste, but ...
It might be a good idea to give it a try. Lol Coconut and beer didn't match in me. (sorry.)
And to rehearse, Kona Beer ☆
IPA with star fruit orange flavor. The taste here is good ~. However, personally, the dragon fruit flavored IPA was more cute in color, and I think it was more Hawaiian.
Thank you all for your hard work this week as well.
Have a nice weekend!
● Hawaii Rock a Hula Show, Online Live Experience ●
Aloha! How are you all doing?
Today we would like to introduce you to the Zoom online live experience that sneaks behind the scenes of the popular "Rock a Hula Show" in that Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center!
Have you ever seen this show? Although it is currently closed due to the influence of Corona, it is one of the largest Hawaiian shows you can see in Waikiki, and like the Star of Honolulu, it is famous as a very popular entertainment in Hawaii.
Unfortunately, you can't see the show itself, but on the contrary, we will introduce costumes behind the scenes that you can hardly see in ordinary shows, and there are also dance lessons by the popular dance team captain ♡
★ [Online Academy] Infiltrate behind the scenes of Waikiki's biggest cast show, "Rock a Hula Show"! There are stage sets, costume introductions, and dance lessons <Zoom> ★

Enjoy Waikiki entertainment at Rock-A-Hula ♬

● KCC Farmers Market reopened ●
Aloha! Today is Friday the 13th in Hawaii ^^ ;; (May spooky things not happen ...)
By the way, the long-awaited KCC Farmers Market will be reopening from November 14th tomorrow! !! It's good news because it's closer to Kakaako Farmers Market than going to Kakaako Farmers Market from my home ☆ I'm sure it will be a while before tourists come, but I hope we can continue to reopen.
Have a beautiful day ♡
● Waikiki Sunset Dinner Cruise ●
Aloha! The other day, a staff member from the Honolulu office went on a dinner cruise on a ship called Prince Kuhio departing from Kewalo Basin.
★ Prince Kuhio Waikiki Sunset Dinner Cruise [Open Now] ★

I'm still worried about participating in the tour at this time. However, that is why both the operating company and VELTRA are working hard to alleviate that anxiety and make our customers enjoy it.
Currently, VELTRA's English site Hawaii Activities.com is updating the tour currently being held as [OPEN NOW] every day. Some companies cannot offer tours in Japanese, but if you are in Hawaii or have a plan to travel to Hawaii this year and are looking for a tour, this is also a must. I would appreciate it if you could check it ♡
● Kaimuki's Moques ●
Aloha! Happy Monday ♡
On Sunday morning, I went to the neighborhood Moques to eat Lilikoi pancakes. The lilikoi sauce, which is not too sweet and has a little sourness, is stable and delicious ♬ Also, moist pancakes are irresistible. (I can't burn it at home! Lol)
We arrived at the table around 9 o'clock, but the people who came after that waited for 1-2 hours! Many people were waiting in the car in the parking lot. Since the number of people is limited in the store, it is natural to say that it is natural, but if you go, it seems better to go early.
It seems that there are also Nakameguro and Enoshima in Japan, so if you are near you, please ♬
● Nuff Free Hawaii ●
Aloha! The other day, when I went to a sandwich shop in Kailua, I saw a car with "Nuff Free Hawaii" written on the glass behind the car. Nuff = Enough. Is it something like "Please take care of yourself and open Hawaii!" Probably it was written during lockdown.
It seems that tourists from Mainland are returning little by little, but from the Hawaiian side, the number is far from returning to the tourism industry. It is also true that there are many people who are still unable to return to work, are looking for a job, or are having anxious time.
Since I am involved in the tourism industry, I would like to welcome Japanese people as soon as possible, but I will not be impatient, be careful, coexist well with Corona, and welcome Japanese people again. I hope you can.
Malama pono ♡
