Glen: (it's Nisei, btw) I suggest that you think of the 'cultural' (in the sense of imbedded in the Japanese culture) rather than the shopping experiences as first choices. Botanical gardens like the one in Onomea, Nani Mau, Akaka Falls, etc. are all of interest. We don't have folk villages per se, but there are several small towns that would be interesting from a historical perspective (Pahoa Village? [
