Lifestyle magazine 'CREA,' published by Bungeishunju Ltd., will release its Summer 2026 issue, 'After All, Hawaii!', on June 5.
The Hawaii feature in 'CREA,' which has been a popular summer staple for many years, is finally returning after seven years.
Against the backdrop of the long-lasting pandemic, the recent weak yen, and rising prices, the conditions travelers seek in their trips have become more essential and severe. To become a popular travel destination, it is important to have 'experiences that can only be had by going there.'
In that sense, Hawaii is once again attracting attention. The symbolic charms of Hawaii, such as the blue sea and the relaxing time spent at prestigious hotels, are still there. On the other hand, chefs representing Hawaii are opening new restaurants one after another. Furthermore, as a popular destination for trekking through rich greenery and mountains, Hawaii is now attracting many travelers from the U.S. mainland. In this feature, we also traveled to the Big Island of Hawaii, where the World Heritage site Kilauea Volcano is located, and where you can enjoy mysterious nature such as black sand beaches.
From timeless charms and rediscovered ways to enjoy, to trending spots and trends. With a convenient detailed map, we have featured the latest charms of Hawaii over 80 pages. There are also ways to enjoy popular Hawaiian gourmet food at a good price, making it a book we want those who hesitate because 'Hawaii is expensive' to pick up.
