Updated with the latest real-time information
Readers' Picks: Best Hawaii Guidebooks


The author, who visits Hawaii two or three times a year, has returned with the book "Real Hawaii," which has been loved by many readers and is filled with travel destinations that he personally experienced and carefully selected.
As this is the first revision in a long time, we have closely monitored the changes in Hawaii and included all the changes, big and small.
Hawaii, in particular, already had high prices, but the recent unprecedented rise in prices has made the burden even greater.
To calculate an accurate budget, we quickly and quickly updated all information on attractions, activities, restaurants, shopping, etc.
In addition, from a traveler's perspective, we have increased practicality by adding more cost-effective and economical travel information.
This information includes information on cost-effective restaurants as well as food trucks with unique flavors and atmosphere unique to Hawaii, allowing you to experience the various charms of Hawaii while reducing the financial burden.

A thorough analysis of Hawaii travel patterns
Oahu and Surrounding Islands Travel Information


Your trip to Hawaii begins in Oahu.
Since it is common to base your itinerary on Oahu and add surrounding islands, we made sure to choose carefully and focus on it.
Oahu is a deep and detailed tour, and the surrounding islands are organized into key areas. In Oahu, you can sometimes choose places that suit your taste like a local, and in the surrounding islands, you can enjoy a fulfilling trip focusing on must-sees.
Besides, Hawaii is not just one island around it.
Of the six inhabited islands, excluding Oahu, we introduce Maui and the Big Island, the two most recommended for travelers, considering not only the wonderful sights and activities, but also the convenience.
In particular, Maui, which suffered significant damage from the massive wildfires in 2023, has recovered safely, allowing travelers to once again encounter the beautiful nature that once captivated their hearts.
You can compare information on the Big Island, an island with a different charm than before, as well as Maui, which has overcome difficulties, to find the island that is right for you.

It has a different charm from American food.
The Unique Culinary World of Hawaii

It would be a mistake to think of Hawaiian food as simply American food.
The island's abundant ingredients and the culinary cultures of its various immigrants have combined to create an endless variety of unique Hawaiian dishes.
It boasts a variety of food, including poke, loco moco, traditional indigenous food luau, desserts such as malasadas and acai bowls, Kona coffee, one of the world's top three coffees, and local beer with a fragrant Hawaiian vibe.
With so much food to choose from, travelers may be confused about what to eat, so we've compiled a list of must-eat foods and recommended restaurants to save you time.
The nearly 200 recommended restaurants include not only local restaurants that preserve the local flavors, but also immigrant restaurants such as Korean and Japanese restaurants.
From high-end restaurants for a special day to budget-friendly restaurants for budget travelers, we've carefully considered the tastes and circumstances of all travelers.

In Hawaii, where it is very easy to squander money, there are tips for reasonable consumption.
Customized shopping list


Hawaii has lower consumption taxes than other states in the U.S., frequent sales, and has large shopping centers and outlet stores, so if you know a few shopping tips, you can shop relatively inexpensively.
In addition, it is a magical shopping destination where you can find so many eye-catching items, including 'Tanning Hello Kitty', which has become a popular item in Korea, Hawaiian character goods such as Snoopy and Miffy, Hawaiian limited edition goods sold at Patagonia, Starbucks, etc., and even local souvenirs, that you will end up spending money without even realizing it.
So, we've delved into the essential information travelers need to know for a smart shopping experience, as well as the top secrets known only to experts.
We introduce not only must-visit shopping destinations but also popular brand stores among Koreans.
We've gathered popular brands together and organized their store locations into a table so you can find them quickly and easily without wasting time.
The most important discounts and tax-free benefits are also explained in detail, including the issuance location and method, so anyone can easily enjoy them.

Comfortable and safe for both drivers and passengers
Hawaii Car Rental & Public Transportation Information


In Hawaii, renting a car is more of a necessity than an option.
On any island, a road runs along the sea, offering views of the Pacific Ocean.
Sunrise and sunset views from the front, and trips to less accessible national parks, observatories, and coffee plantations offer new landscapes and experiences.
"Real Hawaii" introduces places where you can experience fresh adventures using a rental car, as well as driving courses filled with breathtaking scenery. It also contains all the necessary driving information, from reservations to driving, refueling, parking, and driving precautions, ensuring you enjoy the ultimate driving experience.
In addition, we thoroughly considered the needs of those who cannot drive.
We provide detailed information on public transportation, including trolleys, buses, subways, taxis, and Uber, along with route maps.
We introduce everything from bus routes that will give you a driving experience, to routes that circle popular tourist spots, to apps that provide real-time public transportation information.
In particular, the Waikiki Trolley route map and Oahu's best driving course map are provided in portable form, allowing you to travel lightly and conveniently.
