Today, I would like to share the information on Kakaako Night Market. Kakaako is a very hot area that has so many development plan to be the 2nd hottest spot on Oahu next to Waikiki area.
Kakaako covers pretty wide area that Kamehameha school is planning the "Master Plan" to develop mixed use, mixed income neighborhood.
カカアコのナイトマーケット。ここ数年注目を浴びているホノルルのホットスポットカカアコ。アラモアナからダウンタウン手前までのエリアをカバーするこのエリア、次々と新しいコンドミニアムが建つ計画、その名も”マスタープラン”。
Honolulu Night Market, which is held once a month from 6p.m. on Saturday is almost like a block party, but more organized and there is actually a cover over your head when you choose to eat inside of warehouse buildings. Many say, "Family Friendly" If you watch out where you are going since it's packed with many people.
そんなカカアコに登場し出したのがナイトマーケット。家族ずれにも好評、ブロックパーティーに似た感じです。
When lots of new condo developments were planned and approved in this area, many people were concerned about losing the "Local" flavor. It's nice to see how all the local people can get together and enjoy at this market place for sure. At the same time, visitors can enjoy what this evolving Hawaii can offer not only during the daytime, but continue to enjoy at night.
新しいコンドミニアムが次々と建てられる中でハワイの味わいが失われる懸念の中、地元の人たちが集まって楽しめるスポットが増えたのはとても嬉しいことです。また、訪れる人たちにもローカルスポットを気軽に味わってもらえます。

Street performer. Not just another ordinary performer, but he's got some skills!
このマーケットに登場していたストリートパフォーマーはかなりすごいマジックを見せてくれます！
The night I went there, it was very hot yet little rain here and there. Perfect night out spot for those who would like to experience some of the urban mixed Hawaii culture. Hope you are hungry! おなかをすかせて行ってください！
Once you get there, you will see vintage cars parked upfront, then main stage where local bands were playing and entertaining crowds, then, you will see dozens of food vendors that offer various foods and merchandise.
It was filled with local and some tourist. I could hardly move around. As I was walking around entire site(which only took about 10minutes or so), and explored the interior of the warehouse building, I noticed the beautiful handmade decorations inside. When you pass through the warehouse part, there was a little outside bar set up where you can lounge and drink with your friends being surrounded by the Asian-Hawaii inspired decoration.
入り口のすぐ近くにファッションショーやバンドが演奏するステージがあり、食べ物、グッズを売っている小さなお店で盛りだくさん。倉庫側に入ると手作りで作ったお部屋とデコレーションがいろいろあり、さらにはバーまで設けられていました。
Honolulu is such a special place that attracts people eternally. Lately this mixture of local culture and urban culture are alluring even more people. I even saw tourists who walked to visit this night market from Waikiki on foot!
For those who are considering buying new condos in this Kakaako area would be in for a real treat for sure.
ホノルルはもともと、とても特別で魅力のあるところですが、現代風の文化の変遷でさらに訪れる人が多くなるようです。ワイキキから歩いて来たと言う方もいらっしゃいました。
カカアコの物件を考えられてる方に、より楽しみが増えそうです。
