Japan Village Walk in Ala Moana Center !

by Kazu

When we visited Honolulu in January, 2017, "Fukuoka Fair" was held in the food court of Ala Moana Center "Japan Village Walk. 

As you may know, the first Japanese-American Governor of the State of Hawaii was Mr. George Ariyoshi whose root was Fukuoka Prefecture. 

Fukuoka Prefecture is the first Sister-state of Hawaii in Japan. I think that was established during the Ariyoshi Administration or just after that.
