The shrine was great! The space was a little bigger than I expected and if you're trying to get beyond the monotony of hotels and experience a location with some history behind it, I recommend this place. One thing worth noting is that the wifi is very spotty inside. There is no air conditioning, but this is to be expected in Hawaii--you should be in the ocean during the day while fans make nighttime bearable. The shrine is about a 10-15 drive from Hilo and the location is great for popping in and around the city.
