Hawaii

For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. The beaches there are the best in the world /and the waves are the highest. And the weather is neither too hot nor too cold all the year around. The water is very clear, too. It’s too wonderful for people to do water sports there, just like surfing, diving, water-skiing or swimming. Especially surfing there is so exciting that many surfers and travelers from all over the world are attracted every year.

People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of ocean. They also want to see sunset over the ocean. In the tropical lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drop so quickly that you can almost see it move. People often have a quiet, peaceful time here, perfect for a leisurely walk along the water.

The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now yet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Wherever people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii.
