Liliʻuokalani Gardens

Liliʻuokalani Gardens, the largest authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan, grace the shores of Hilo Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii, situated along the famous Banyan Drive in downtown Hilo. Named after Hawaii’s last reigning monarch and dedicated to the immigrants who toiled in the sugar fields, the gardens feature arched stone bridges, moats, and stone lanterns. Pagodas and a tea house add to the serene ambiance, inviting visitors to stroll through this meticulously designed landscape that blends Japanese aesthetics with the natural beauty of Hawaii.
