My sister-in-law is nesei (sp?) -second generation Japanese-- and will be coming to the island in October, with my brother. Her parents were both Japanese (they met in a concentration camp in California) and she has maintained an interest in that part of her heritage.
I would like to be able to point her to asian points of interest in the Hilo area. Of course, the entire town displays a distinct Asian influence, but I was wondering if there are particular places that would be of interest to those of Japanese ancestry.
