The Day of Departure from Honolulu!

by Kazu

The memorial visit of the first official delegation from Hokkaido to Hawaii was so successful. The last day of our visit had come. We had to leave Honolulu with a plenty of souvenirs and trust. 

Daniel K. INOUE International Airport was still in construction for expansion and renovation. The gate for the flights to Japan was a little bit farther than other destinations, I thought. 

I did not expect I would have to visit there again and again to establish a sister-state affiliation between the regions as well as the special business relations at that time.
