Kaneohe, Census-designated community on Oahu Island, United States
Located on the windward side of Oahu, Kaneohe extends across 8.5 square miles between mountains and Kaneohe Bay at 28 meters elevation.
The area contained 30 royal fishponds during the Hawaiian Kingdom period and primarily focused on cultivating taro and sweet potatoes for sustenance.
The name Kaneohe originates from Hawaiian language meaning 'bamboo man', referencing a tale about a woman comparing her husband to sharp bamboo edges.
Kaneohe connects to Honolulu through Likelike Highway and Kamehameha Highway, with the international airport approximately 30 minutes away by car.
The Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe features the Byodo-In Temple, surrounded by gardens and reflecting pools against the background of Koolau mountains.
