This is a taste of old Hawaii ~ Japanese style...very nostalgic as my mom is Okinawan, born and raised in Hilo. I brought her back for a belated 97th birthday and she LOVED the home, as did I. Very serene, peaceful, beautiful landscaping. Really a retreat. Yes it's an older home, that's not a bad thing. It's built exquisitely, utterly charming and has good energy. I'd stay again in a heartbeat...
