Oahu, Hawaii's most popular resort island
When you think of Hawaii, beautiful beaches, nature, and fun shopping come to mind, right?
Of Hawaii's many islands, the one that encompasses them all is the popular resort island of Oahu.
Oahu, also known as "The Gathering Place," is a bustling place where most of Hawaii's population congregates.
It is warm all year round, so you can play in the ocean and walk around in rough clothes, which is only possible in a resort area.
It is a spot that attracts people from all over the world because of its successful fusion of the urban and the natural, the old and the new.
What is Oahu like?
Waikiki, with its famous restaurants and shopping centers, Honolulu, where you can feel the history of Hawaii, and the North Shore, a mecca for surfers, are dotted with attractive spots.
With an average annual temperature of 25°C (77°F), it is warm even during the Christmas season, and marine activities are available year-round, making it a favorite destination for beach lovers!
Since the percentage of Asian population is very high, there are many Japanese restaurants and stores run by Japanese people, making it easy for those who are not confident in their English to spend time here.
How to get to Oahu
Direct flights from Japan to Oahu are available not only from Tokyo, but also from Osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo, and other regions.
The flight time is approximately 7 hours 35 minutes to 8 hours 50 minutes on the way there, and 8 hours to 9 hours 45 minutes on the way back due to the prevailing westerly winds.
Most departures to the destination are at night, so we will arrive in Hawaii in the morning.
After arriving in the morning, get a good night's sleep on the plane to prepare for immediate sightseeing!
Attractions of Oahu
Oahu, which attracts tourists from all over the world, is packed with attractions.
There are not only beautiful beaches and other natural beauty, but also shopping centers and famous hotels, so you can enjoy both to the fullest!
Also, overseas, especially in the U.S., you often have to drive, but on Oahu there are buses and trolleys, so even those who are not confident driving a car do not need to worry about transportation.
Beautiful beaches and vast wilderness
The charm of Oahu is its beautiful beaches and vast wilderness.
Waikiki Beach is the most famous beach in Hawaii!
Its beauty makes you feel as if you are in a postcard world.
This beach is cleaned every night at 0:00 by a contractor commissioned by the City of Honolulu Parks Department, so it is always kept clean and free of debris.
Other beaches include Lanikai Beach, known as the "Sea of Heaven," with its clear and beautiful waters.
It is so beautiful that it was once voted the number one beach in the U.S., and is characterized by its white, fine sand.
Oahu is also a great place to enjoy the lush green wilderness.
Diamond Head is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Hawaii, and the summit offers a spectacular view of Honolulu city.
It takes about 45 minutes from the trailhead to the summit, so even beginner trekkers can easily take on the challenge.
We encourage you to climb the mountain for exercise, not only for the view from the summit, but also for the mountain's natural beauty!
One of the world's leading resorts
The successful fusion of modern buildings and spectacular nature attracts many people from all over the world who are fascinated by it.
There are beaches near the hotel and the shopping center and hotel are next door to each other for easy access.
In addition, there are many Japanese tourists, and local people can speak simple Japanese, so there is little cause for concern in terms of language.
Moreover, it is warm all year round, so no matter what time of year you go, you can always relax your body and soul in a tropical atmosphere!
Shopping and restaurants are also recommended
Many famous restaurants have opened on Oahu, so you can always enjoy a delicious meal.
For example, High's Steak House, a prestigious Canadian steakhouse, has been in business for 38 years, and its steaks made with kiava, an aromatic wood from Hawaii, are excellent.
If you want to try the local specialty, loco moco, in a casual setting, Rainbow Drive-In is the place to go.
Former President Barack Obama, a native of Hawaii, said it was his "favorite place to visit when I come to Hawaii," and its popularity has spread around the world.
For those who want to enjoy shopping to the fullest, Ala Moana Shopping Center and Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center are recommended.
There are many brands that have not yet been introduced to Japan, so you can spend a full day shopping!
What is a baby carriage?
An ATV is a four-wheeled vehicle equipped with four tires for off-road use.
It is characterized by a unique design with large tires and few body parts, and is sometimes called an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) in English.
This means "a vehicle that can handle all terrain" and can travel well on unmaintained roads.
At first glance, it may seem difficult to drive, but if you have a regular driver's license, you can drive on public roads, and surprisingly, the operation is no different from that of a regular car.
ATV Attractions for Your Enjoyment on Oahu
There are many places on Oahu where you can experience ATVs.

Since there are few body parts and no windows, you can feel the wind with your whole body.
Driving down the road as fast as you can gives you a sense of speed that is rarely found in everyday life, and is recommended for those who want to experience the thrill of driving!
Powerful but safe because of 4 wheels
It looks wild and powerful, but the large four wheels make it stable and safe.
It is designed to run on unequipped roads, so there is no need to worry about it collapsing if it shakes while running.

The baby carriages have no windows, so you can enjoy a panoramic view of Oahu's spectacular wilderness while driving!
In the warm weather, feel the breeze and enjoy the soothing view of nature.
