Though it was after normal business hours when I drove to the station, I appreciated that they didn't turn me away but dropped everything to calm me down and call an ambulance. I'm afraid I don't remember anyone's names or faces, but I do recall feeling safe and impressed with the rapid response. I am thankful to know the station is nearby, and now when I hear the fire trucks blaring down Kapiolani Boulevard, I say a silent prayer of protection for these brave souls that they may continue to do what they do best -- save lives.

Maybe I was Japanese in a previous life. Somehow, I'm drawn to Japanese things, but I've only been…read moreto Japan once. Luckily for me, there are enough Japanese things in Hawaii and LA! I was always curious about the pagoda top that I passed by every day on the way to school and work when I lived in Nu'uanu. After many years, I saw Cara M.'s review when I searched Honolulu Landmarks on this Yelp website! I finally had time yesterday to explore and get a close up look! It was really cool! I parked for free on Craigside Place - the street in the front of the big condominium. It's just a short walk down the paved driveway which is blocked off with orange cones. If you drive to the left, you'll pass by all of the Japanese style graves which are like crypts where urns of family members can be placed together. So - walking down the driveway which curves to the left, you'll arrive at the tall, faded Sanju Pagoda straight ahead. Although the it needs repair and is surrounded by a soft, saggy orange fence, it's still magnificent and beautiful! According to an article in Honolulu Magazine (11-1-06), it is one of the "9 Most Endangered Historic Sites in Hawai'i". It is believed to be the largest pagoda in the world! Before the Sanju Pagoda, to your right, sits a replica of the Kinkaku-ji Temple with the Mirror Lake Garden. It would look better if the water filled the ponds and if the temple were gold in color like the original one in Kyoto, Japan, but I was happy enough to be so close to it! There seems to be some controversy about the maintenance of this Landmark. It may take over $2 million to renovate. If you want to check it out before it falls down, you may want to do it soon... Just be careful!

After driving on the Pali Highway and seeing the top of that mysterious pagoda every day, I decided…read moreto investigate! and the Internet gave me the Kyoto Gardens of Honolulu Memorial Park, which is the eastern half of the Honolulu Memorial Park and Cemetery. We parked by the graves and walked down to the Sanju Pagoda, an impressive sight in Hawaii! To people from Japan, they'd probably just think that it's old and in SERIOUS need of repairs, but to my friends and I, it was super awesome! A for real pagoda outside of Japan! There was an orange safety fence around it, so we couldn't walk around the pagoda, but it was for the best because it really does look like it can fall down any moment. We then walked down to the replica of Kyoto's famous Kinkaku-ji. Although it doesn't have gold walls, the building looks practically exactly the same as the one in Japan! What makes this replica even more fun is that you can walk right up to it and walk around it, which you can't do with the one in Japan. Good for us! Good for the old building? Probably not... The Mirror Lake Garden was empty of water, so it wasn't really a lake, but we could see how the rocks were placed. It was interesting. If you are a fan of Japanese culture, have gone to Japan, or plan on going soon, the Kyoto Gardens of Honolulu Memorial Park is really nice! Just respect the grounds and don't throw rubbish around.

Built to honor the 10,000 Hawaiian citizens who served in World War I, the large ocean water swim basin served as a living memorial allowing locals and visitors to swim and enjoy water traditions that the indigenous people have long enjoyed. The archway is gorgeous from both sides, but when this Was open to the public, the arch opened up to a massive set of bleachers on the ocean side that overlooked the saltwater basin. There were bathhouses, statues and other gorgeous neoclassical architectural features. Sure wish they would restore the Natatorium War Memorial back to its original glory and honor so people could once enjoy this magical place. Located next to the Kaimana Beach Hotel and Sans Souci Beach, there is metered parking on Kalakaua. If you are staying at a hotel in the Waikiki area, it's a lovely walk on the stone path that runs between the beach and the park, just continue past the zoo. You can't miss the giant pink structure.
