Liliuokalani Park and Gardens, Japanese garden in Hilo, United States
The gardens extend over 30 acres along Banyan Drive, featuring stone lanterns, arched bridges, pagodas, and a traditional Japanese teahouse near Hilo Bay.
Queen Liliuokalani donated the initial five acres in 1907, and by 1917 the Legislative Committee expanded the property to seventeen acres.
The gardens opened in 1919 to honor Japanese immigrants who contributed to Hawaii's agricultural development since 1868, incorporating authentic Edo-style design elements.
The park remains accessible every day without admission fees, providing paved pathways, restroom facilities, and multiple areas for picnics near the koi ponds.
The United States Postal Service selected Liliuokalani Gardens for their 2016 Priority Mail stamp design, recognizing its significance in Hawaiian cultural heritage.
