● Hawaii's cute social distance stickers ●
Aloha! How was your weekend? Partly because Halloween was Saturday this year, I personally think there was a lot of movement this weekend.

I'm sure it's the same in Japan, but there are lots of stickers in the streets of Hawaii that encourage a 6feet (about 2m) social distance to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus infection (Covid-19)!
Previously, I was introduced to Dai-chan of the Hawaiian Dream Club of the operating company, but I found it cute again, so I will update it a little ♬

Green: Diamond Head Market Grill Light Blue: Simple Organize in Kahala Mall Red: Macy's in Kahala Mall that makes us feel that Christmas is near

There are many other cute Hawaiian stickers, so please look for them the next time you come to Hawaii ♡

● I went to Kualoa Ranch! ●
Aloha! The Honolulu staff went to Kualoa Ranch with their family the other day, so I would like to share the current situation.

She participated in the "Hollywood Movie Sites Tour / Movie Location Tour! !! 』\
Immediately after arrival, check the temperature, fill in the participant's name and family representative's email address at check-in, wear hand sanitizers and masks & signs to encourage social distance everywhere, plastic at each counter with staff It was said that the boards were placed and guarded each other, and each staff member wore masks.

It seems that I was a little worried because I participated in the tour at this time, but Kualoa Ranch seems to have taken good measures against corona, so I seemed to be able to enjoy the tour with confidence ^ ^ //

* Currently, Kualoa Ranch is affected by the coronavirus and does not sell package tours with transportation. Only some tours of the local gathering will be sold and sold. Please be careful.

● PCR test upon arrival at Narita Airport ●
Aloha! A friend of mine who returned to Narita from Honolulu on a special ANA flight a few days ago gave me information about how I arrived at Narita Airport, so I will share it today.

On board, in addition to the usual immigration documents, you will be given two questionnaires about Corona and fill them out. Upon arrival at Narita, the transfer will be given priority and the passengers will disembark, and then other passengers will disembark and take the PCR test. It was vacant at this time, so the result will come out in about an hour. Safely "negative"! On this day, it takes about 2 hours from arrival at the airport to passing through the arrival gate. (Depending on the congestion situation at the inspection site, even if you arrive at the airport and the door is open, you may have to wait for several hours on board.)
A friend of mine had his family pick him up in his private car, and he was in self-quarantine for 14 days now ~ ♬ Also, the inspector told me that he could go out for food during self-quarantine.

Corona information is constantly updated in each country and city, so we hope that you can use this information as a reference only.

Happy Friday everyone ♡

● Honolulu City Lights 2020 ●
Aloha! I had some idea, but this year's Honolulu City Lights opening ceremony was canceled due to the influence of Corona. However, in order to share the Hawaiian holiday spirit of more than 30 years with you, the famous Shaka Santa and Tutu Mele before Honolulu Halle, a large Christmas tree, and Christmas lights along King Street are decorated and drive-through. It seems that you can enjoy it.
It's a pity that we can't see the Christmas tree lighting ceremony and parade, but Shaka Santa is coming again this year ♡

● About the second test when traveling to Hawaii and arriving in Hawaii ●
Aloha! Today, October 15th, Hawaii has finally reopened, and people who have taken pre-travel pretests from Mainland are arriving in Hawaii one after another. Approximately 7,000 people will arrive in Hawaii on the day of the reopening. Before the pandemic, about 30,000 people arrived a day, so it's about a quarter of the number, but it would be great if we could gradually welcome you without being relaxed.

Upon arrival, you will be required to show the QR code of the "Hawaii Travel & Health Form" that you have already registered (please confirm the email address you registered yourself) along with the temperature measurement.
In addition, "Hawaii Island" is currently required to take a second test upon arrival. Please check the following for the status of the second test.

● Oahu Not required at this time (information may be updated)
● A second test is required when you arrive on the Big Island (free of charge)
● A second test can be taken 3 days after arriving on Maui (free of charge)
● A second test can be taken 3 days after arriving on Kauai (free of charge)

Please note that the above information is currently for people arriving from Mainland and will continue to require 14 days of self-quarantine if arriving from Japan to Hawaii.
We will inform you as soon as the information is updated.

Have a nice day!

● Admission to Diamond Head State Park and increased parking fees ●

Aloha!
From 10/9, "Admission and parking fees for Hawaii State Park have been raised (not just for Diamond Head State Park)". This is the first price increase in 20 years and is intended for users from outside the state.

<Diamond head price increase>
・ Parking fee $ 5 → $ 10 ・ Walk-in $ 1 → $ 5

It is also said that the price will increase for commercial use in vans and tour buses. Is the price increase at this time because it costs money for hygiene and safety management of park facilities?
It's a shame to raise the price, but you still want to go to Diamond Head when you come to Oahu. I hope you can see the scenery from here again as soon as possible. .. ..

● About the pre-travel test program in Hawaii ●
Aloha! Is it covered a little in Japanese news? In late June, Governor Ige of Hawaii announced the "Pre-Travel Testing Program". This is tested within 72 hours of leaving for Hawaii, and if negative, you are exempt from self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving in Hawaii.
At this time, we are assuming travelers from the continental United States for the Hawaii reopening on October 15, and this does not apply to Hawaii travelers from Japan, but according to the state of Hawaii, we have a test program with the same standards as the United States. It seems that we are also cooperating with Japan so that it can be introduced.
I was wondering if this program could be adopted not only on Oahu but also on other islands, but yesterday (10/6) Mayor Kim of Hawaii announced that Hawaii would not participate in this program! "Of course, I want to reopen the tourism industry, but protecting the safety of the residents is the highest priority, and at the moment the risk is high and I cannot accept it. ] Was stated. Therefore, the Big Island of Hawaii will continue to require 14 days of self-quarantine when visiting the island.

What will happen in the future ...

● Waikiki Tuna Brothers ●

Aloha! Today's delicious story ...
Oaf is still worried because of various regulations, but I'm always hungry. Especially after finishing work and spending beach time with the kids at sunset! !! So, head to Waikiki's "Maguro Brothers", which is close to Waikiki Beach! !!
Bluefin (bluefin tuna) was the signboard menu on that day, so of course I ordered a large size for wasabi ☓2 and leaflet Donburi. Delicious enough to make you want to worship. Lol happiness ♡ Because it's so delicious, hungry locomotives also gather. There are still various regulations in Oaf, but on this day more and more people gathered and waited hungry outside while properly observing the social distance.

Maguro Brothers is a specialty store of "poke & sashimi" run by Japanese brothers. There are two stores, the Chinatown store and the Waikiki store. If you're staying in Waikiki, you'll be able to walk to the Waikiki store, so be sure to check it out the next time you travel to Hawaii ♬
