Thanks for sharing Shinichi. I've lived here for 47 years and I'm only 2 towns away, and I've never visited the plantation villages. Mahalo for the tour🌺
My auntie still lives Waipahu with her husband, lovely local area...(you presented this visit so well, making sure to reiterate that Hawai’i had become a conglomeration of cultures that make it what it is today...all having a vital part in the merge...✨🤙🏼✨)
wow, memories. my grandma's house in Waipahu was one of those old plantation houses, close to the mill. all gone now... glad you finally learned how to eat poi! naturally tart, so goes well with salty foods like lomi salmon, kalua pig, etc. - the two tastes balance out. 8/22/22: just rewatched this and noticed at 10:08 the kids' booster seat. remember sitting on one for my first barbershop haircut back in the 60's and getting a hershey bar as reward for not fidgeting/crying. lol
I just saved this vid to my Hawaii folder so the next time we go there we'll def check this place out. Thanks so much for sharing your travels, I enjoy watching you guys at Tabi eats too! ***much love from California! 😚
Love the tour of the Hawaiian Plantation. Figs growing on fig trees! Shinichi makes the details interesting and always mentions what his mother likes! All is beautiful and fascinating to learn about.
I can't believe that the plantation was opened until 1950 Ii heard about the plantation but I did not know it finally closed in 1950 Thanks again for the fantastic footage!
Another walk-about, yeah. This place was amazing. All the history and diversity in one place. Really interesting with all the artifacts to show life back in the day. People really worked hard for everything they had. Wow. Thanks again for the great visit. JC
OMG, I work right around the bend at the elementary school. Had I known you were at the village I would have run down to see you! Beautiful shots of each house; mahalo for showing people around the world our local culture!
Such a interesting museum village, here in Switzerland we have a similair village called "Ballenberg" with original houses from all periods of time, they make food there the traditional way like cheese, bread, smoking saussages and all sorts of that so you can eat there the same what people eat. Even a coffee rostery is there where you can sit in a old farmers kitchen and drink fresh made coffee - even with a hint of alcohol in it because they used to drink it like that, I bet Satoshi would love it too haha. I looove to go there from time to time, so this video touched me soo much it was amazing to learn and see more about the history and culture, thaaaank you.
Oh btw, would love to see this video posted on your main channel it was such a great episode and not only about food, like what "TabiEats" mean you say, so more people could enjoy this sight on Hawaii. Just want to support you and say that you're doing a awesome job, send you much love ^^/
I can’t eat figs anymore after finding out about the wasp that lays eggs in them. Last figs I bought had larvae moving in the inside. Even though they look so delicious. Such a beautiful museum. That bread oven is amazing! I love the old world style of America’s history. Really need to visit Hawaii again. Aww that old sewing machine, such a beautiful piece of the older style. Thank so much for taking us with you on your travels! Have a wonderful day. Safe travels.
Very enjoyable tour, I found it so interesting! Thank you! The differences between the houses was fascinating -- I think it's a bit of an eyeopener for those of us who haven't visited Hawaii and didn't know any of the history about what makes up the culture - I love it!! I will get there one day. I hope your family is safe during this huge hurricane Lane. It seemed pretty scary! Best wishes!
Shinichi, this popped up on my recommended youtube feed, and I'm watching it for the first time. My great-grandfather emigrated from Japan to Hawaii around 1882. Not sure what he did for a job, I'm assuming he may have worked at one of the local plantations. Thanks for the interesting tour!
I enjoyed this video so much. The Plantation Village is fantastic! It's wonderful to see the historic homes for so many cultures represented. I loved the plants, too! The fig tree made me smile. Fig trees grow really well here, too. The starfruit bush was so pretty! It was so great to see Michael in the video again, too! I'm glad you were able to see him again during your visit. Waving hello to Michael! Sending prayers and best wishes to everyone in Hawaii.
How awesome that you guys had the whole place to yourselves at the beginning!! The interior of each home was truly interesting. Seeing the hotokesan in the corner of the Japanese house brought back many memories of my dad praying for our departed loved ones every single night. ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing this piece of history with us!!
So cool! That lechon in the Filipino house does not do real lechon justice, though!! ;) I think every region has its own version of plate lunch--the South has meat and three, the Southwest has street tacos (cheap delicious ones, not overpriced gastro pub tacos) and Sonoran hot dogs and fry bread, New England has lobster (okay granted, lobster's fancy and expensive now, but it used to be low-brow food). The first time I had plate lunch in my late 20s, I recognized it as kin to Filipino food, and that made it comfort food for me.
I love this vlog, it was very interesting and everything is so charming and full of history of how everyday people lived. Thanks for sharing and safe travels!
Star fruit tree! Tofu made the old fashioned way! Old fashioned bath house! Since I did not grow up in a Japanese American community, I love seeing this Hawaiian cultural history, Shinichi and Satoshi. Plus Korean culture. Oh my... Interesting to hear the tour guide, but I prefer Shinichi's commentary. He says things that I appreciate hearing and thinking about! Satoshi nodding in charming agreement is so nice to see. You two are lovely people.
Merci Shinichi's pour partager votre voyage, l'architecture pluriculturelle hawaïenne est très intéressante, cela prouve une fois de plus que le mélange à du bon.
Really nice to see Michael join you both! This was really interesting! My paternal great-grandparents all worked on plantations in Hawaii, so through your video, I was able to imagine what their lives were like. Thanks so much for sharing Hawaii's history with us, and I hope you’re feeling better. I will keep Hawaiians in my thoughts. By the way, TabiEats was selected as a finalist in the best video category for Saveur magazine's 2018 Blog Awards! Many congratulations to you both! Here's the link: www.saveur.com/saveur-blog-awards-2018-finalists-announced#page-8
Shinichi's World So Happy for you guys, and it's so well-deserved! You put so much love and effort into your videos. I'll encourage viewers to vote for you guys on Saveur’s website when voting opens up again. Have a wonderful weekend!
Wasabi Doritos??? Wha! I’ve never seen those here in Canada... those would be so good!! That historic village looks pretty cool... we have some different historic villages around here too... one that shows farm life in the 1800’s another that shows town life late 1800’s to early 1900’s and then the other is more 1940’s/1950’s style... very interesting to see how people lived through history
In the 1970s they used to take old plantation workers' houses and put 'em on lots they got cheap, and rent 'em to us people on Welfare, so my 1970s life was 1920s-tastic.
Being Japanese American was different back in the day. My family doesn't talk about what happened during Pearl Harbor. I think it was too dramatic & they don't like reliving those days. 😕
Thank you for showing the Plantation Village, it's been 24 years since I was there. I'm curious, was the Okinawan home still there? Unless I missed it in the video, you didn't show it.
I tried Poi at 2 different luaus and at a restaurant at my only (sadly) trip to Hawaii, and I'm sorry I just don't get it. Spreading it on my Kahlua pig or anything else just doesn't seem beneficial. Wonderful trip and video through the plantation, it's funny how it was so similar to the plantation housing I went to on Curacao and Jamaica, but so drastically different from the plantation housing that's been preserved in the Southern USA. I guess they were for different reasons, though.
this place is noted for spirits still residing there..( ua-cam.com/video/WD_q-iooGKc/v-deo.html ) workers (some former) state so and was also shown on a ghost hunter tv show about 3-4 years ago. Because of the relic items within the units and the site, some spirits still remain...
The plate lunch is not Hawaiian. It's Local. Local is an amalgam of all the cultures thrown together. Hawaiian is Hawaiian. Poi was meant to fulfil a dietary necessity. It was never meant to taste good. Albeit some Hawaiians love Poi. I myself can't eat it without sugar. My sister would eat it with Lomi Lomi Salmon and Kalua Pig. In every culture there is something unique in that culture that identifies them especially with food items. So you have Local food and then you have Hawaiian food, there is a difference. There is a Dr. Shintani in Hawaii. Who invented what he calls the Hawaiian Diet. He put a lot of overweight Hawaiians on the Hawaiian Diet, consisting of only things Hawaiians of old ate. It became a very popular diet. A lot of people lost a lot of weight.
Were Puerto Ricans PAID laborers or slaves? I see some were starved by plantation owners. At any rate, I didn't know Hawaii's history. I didn't realize Puerto Ricans and the Portuguese were integral to the culture. Thank you, Shinichi!
Any ghosts? Its haunted there. See an episode of Dead Files / Paradise Lost. It was filmed there with a medium. Very interesting. Check it out... my great grand parents came from Puerto Rico to work in the cane industry.😃
Hawaii’s Plantation Village is not haunted. That Dead Files show had many made up stories. Don’t believe it. No one has ever lived in these structures. The houses were built and open for tourism in 1992.

All the best to you and my love to your mom too!!
Very cool, I've never been there. I know my grandfather did work for the plantain in Kauai. 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing with us it was wonderful✌😄✌
I miss Oahu! Thk u for bringing it in vids. Good filming! Satoshi is so fun! 💜💙💛
Most plantation workers didn't live in houses this nice ..... more humble. And more like 2-4 people per room honestly.
Most of these homes were constructed to represent 1920 or later.
This is an excellent video! I love plantation village - it is a very interesting place and I always learn something when i visit.

I’ve always wanted to visit this place. So glad we got to because we learned a lot.
Very nice video thanks for sharing that's a very cool house and you did a great job showing it off love your videos

Aloha! Mahalo for this video.
I grew up in Waipahu. Love my home🤙

This is so interesting. And how funny that it took this long for you to become a convert to poi!

This was really informative. ^~^

Joyce Lewis sad times!!!
My family was sent to Manzanar.

Fierce overseers, known as Luna, rode on horses carrying whips which they were not hesitant to use on the workers.
Thank you for showing the Plantation Village, it's been 24 years since I was there. I'm curious, was the Okinawan home still there? Unless I missed it in the video, you didn't show it.
If you ever come back and want to take a guided tour, let me know. I am a docent there. A self guided tour does do justice to the museum.
speaking of barbering I like your new haircut. It is very flattering
Aww thank you
You're very welcome
An FYI of that place, they have one of the better Halloween haunted houses there during that time of the year. Haunted Plantation.
The saltier the dish you eat it with. The yummiest the poi. Sister knows...
I tried Poi at 2 different luaus and at a restaurant at my only (sadly) trip to Hawaii, and I'm sorry I just don't get it. Spreading it on my Kahlua pig or anything else just doesn't seem beneficial.

ARIGATO from Joyce Yamamoto in northern Minnesota.

It is a mixed patch of vietnamese, chinese, japanese artifacts
No Vietnamese artifacts. Only Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Okinawan, Korean and Filipino.
How are those preserved food not gone bad!?

How is your mum going shinichi!!!!! ? Hope we'll!!!!
My family is doing ok I think. They are well prepared and hopefully it first cause too much damage. Thank you for asking.
@@Shinichisworld family's important as you know!! ✌
I saw that place on travel channel. Supposedly it's very haunted.
Oh gosh I had no idea
@@Shinichisworld yeah, they say that all the old antiques they use and the period settings have it so ghosts like to hangout in the buildings.

HELLO GUYS HOW YPARRE YOU THIS IS TINA
Hope you're not still in Hawaii, boyos.
Be safe
not here already, back in Japan
And dealing with two typhoons!
This is where some of the houses they say is haunted...there's a few UA-cam videos about it.
Not haunted. Those are made up stories.
Any ghosts? Its haunted there. See an episode of Dead Files / Paradise Lost. It was filmed there with a medium. Very interesting. Check it out... my great grand parents came from Puerto Rico to work in the cane industry.😃
Hawaii’s Plantation Village is not haunted. That Dead Files show had many made up stories. Don’t believe it. No one has ever lived in these structures. The houses were built and open for tourism in 1992.
Look like old FBI FBI training and old with newly built artifact. Look like old vietnamese bread stove in old SADec where I from
That is a Portuguese bread baking oven called a forno. Not Vietnamese.
Just dont go there at night it's haunted
