Kapaau is a small town located on the northern side of the Kohala Mountains in the northwestern part of Hawaii Island, known as North Kohala, which juts out like a peninsula.
It has a population of just over 1,000 and is the oldest community on the Big Island, formed by volcanoes.
Along with the neighboring town of Hawi, it is known as the birthplace of King Kamehameha and is a town that retains Hawaii's distinguished history and culture.
This place is
KULEANA = responsibility
ALOHA = Aloha Spirit
MALAMA = compassion
PONO - a rare place where harmony is valued and protected by people.
This place gives you the feeling of being in the good Hawaii, where the fresh breeze flows, the sunlight pours in, the birds chirp, and the land is filled with the energy of nature, and a banyan tree that is over 200 years old gently watches over us.
byDECO has named this place of healing "Banyan Bridge," and will provide spiritual healing through experiences of Hawaiian culture, art, wellness, and food, including clay flower crafting.
Why not surrender yourself to nature and spend some time relaxing?
You will surely discover a new you and gain energy for tomorrow.
Have a wonderful time.
