Hawaii State

Liliʻuokalani Gardens are a little bit of Japan on the Big Island of Hawaii. Located in the underrated, affordable vacation destination of Hilo, right in the heart of the historic downtown, the gardens are named after the last reigning monarch of Hawaii, the much-loved Queen Liliʻuokalani. The nearly 25-acre gardens were built in 1917 and dedicated to the Hawaiian Islands' Japanese labor force, the first Japanese immigrants who journeyed to the island to harvest sugar cane. Today, you might see some of their descendants in the gardens along with other members of the diverse Hawaiian melting pot, out in the park for a jog, having a picnic, doing Tai Chi, or holding a wedding ceremony. Tourists who discover this park find it a breath of fresh air and an oasis of calm, a welcome respite from the often frenetic pace of sightseeing. It's no surprise it won a 2024 Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award.
