Akiko’s place is a beautiful place in the Hamakua coast surrendered by tropical jungle with a Buddhist temple.
She organizes the Zen meditation as well as Yoga and sometimes the Acupuncture session which the residents can participate.
It still keeps the feeling of an Old Hawaii with very quiet, respectful and friendly neighbors. We shared this house with 3 other people and it was great experience to live in a community.
Akiko is a great host and caring person who introduced me to her friends as I said I was interested in the Japanese descendants living here.
I strongly recommend her place to someone who seeks a peaceful retreat in the Old Hawaii.
