I've always wondered why Hawaii is so popular with the Japanese. Shouldn't they all be going to Okinawa, and promoting their own tropical island to the world as a Hawaii-beating honeymoon destination? Isn't that what national pride is all about? Surprisingly, only 10% of those who went on honeymoon domestically went to Okinawa. I haven't been to either so what would I know!

Good point. I used to love living on Yen and watching the dollar drop in value....So, um, how does one find his/her rooms.
And do they come gaijin-size?...That's not very surprising to me. Almost comparable with American society.
This is one of the best...That's precisely what I thought myself, but given that the powers-that-be have zero...This isn't your typical boarding school, though. It's where they send the worst...I'm guessing he only passed the million dollar barrier because the dollar is so...Labor Day. Nov. 24 was Labor Day....What's this? Eating Yakinikku, drinking Asahi Super Dry, and living day to day on...

I went to England on my honeymoon so I could introduce my wife to my parents!
I think she would have preferred Hawaii, though.
I went to Zimbabe for my honeymoon. I wouldn't want to go there now!
Having read the link, what is more sad is that 87% took less than a week for their honeymoon.
Me and my betty have been talking about going to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Surely we have been duped by an international cabal of well-monied industrialists! Heaven help me!
If you go to Hawaii I would highly recommend the outer islands. Waikiki is where ALL the tourists go, but there is a lot of natural beauty and more Hawaiiana on the other islands of the chain IMHO.
Thanks for the tip Shane!
You're welcome! Waikiki is full of tourists from Japan - trust me on that one
Also, people always assume that going to Hawaii in the winter is the best time because it's warmer than other places. That's true but winter is also the rainiest time of year in Hawaii in some places. I spent some wet - rather than white - Christmases when growing up.
