Day 3 is finally the day to listen to a great hula teacher (kumu) teach & talk about the hula.

In the morning we will visit the University of Hawaii at Hilo.It is a small liberal arts college with a total student population of approximately 4,000.

It is an ethnically diverse university with students from over 40 countries. Hawaiian languages and indigenous language studies are interesting because of their uniqueness to Hawaii.

Also at the Imiloa Astronomy Center at the University of Hawaii at Hilo,You will learn and gain a deep understanding of traditional Hawaiian culture and the wonderful history and evolution of astronomy from ancient Hawaii to the present day.

On the Big Island of Hawaii, there is the Father Sky Wakea's mountain, "Mauna a Wakea."Mauna Kea is the "piko" (center) of Waa'a - the sacred place where heaven and earth connect. Mauna Kea is the "piko" (center) of Waukea - the sacred place where heaven and earth are connected - and where Hawaiians feel the connection between the creation of the universe and their own origins.

Mauna Kea plays an important role in both astronomy and Hawaiian culture.Here, too, we understand the strong connection between people and the great outdoors.You can do it.

And in the afternoon, finally.Lecture by Hula Grandmaster (Kumu) Joshua Lanakila ManguailI will not explain it in a strange way. Please watch the video so that you don't misunderstand Hula's explanation if I explain it strangely.Perhaps it is not often in life that we get to meet people like this in person.

Experience the great outdoors through 6 days and 4 nights

Makoa, Hawaii Island (where you will be staying)life itself is also a major objective of this tour.

The Pacific Ocean stretches out before your eyes and the grounds are all grass. Animals are let loose, and the baths are open-air baths made of barrels with a view of the big sky (complete with indoor showers, of course).

They prepare their own breakfast and dinner, take care of their animals, and get eggs every morning from free-range chickens. They get vegetables from the fields and squeeze the chickens for food.

Realize that food does not go on the table without permission and learn the importance of the lives of living creatures. Wrap up the day's activities by practicing the hula and reflecting on the day.

The plan is to have this presentation introduce the island of Hawaii in the form of a video.Elementary school students can do free summer research as it is.I am sure you will.

Middle and high school students search for subjects for comprehensive selection, i.e.Find out what you want to study in the futureI definitely recommend this island forIt is.

I will be traveling from Haneda to Oahu to Hilo on Sunday, July 23,Parents may spend time on Oahu while their children are on Hawaii Island, or they may spend time on the Big Island of Hawaii.Parents may be able to wait ahead of time on Oahu to Kona.
