Things you need to know before you go to Waikiki on Oahu in Hawaii. Waikiki is small, it is 2 miles of sandy beach long, and about 4 city blocks wide. Waikiki attracts 72,000 visitors every day and Waikiki accounts for 42% of Hawaii's tourism revenue.

Waikiki Meaning: “Wai” means fresh water, and “kiki” means spring-thus its nickname, “Spouting Fresh Water.” It is basically the Las Vegas Strip of Hawaii.
Waikiki is not Japan: Lots of Japanese tourists, lots of Japanese writing, busses for Japanese only, shops that cater to Japanese, Japanese Food...
Hotels: The Moana Surfrider, built in 1901, was the first hotel in Waikiki.
Transportation: Walk! Parking in Waikiki is expensive
- Royal Hawaiian Center for validation.
- JCB Card for Waikiki Trolley
- The Bus is pretty good too
Shopping: Duty Free Store -- Everyone Can Shop there and it's duty free
- And yes, they accept Yen
Coupons: Pick up the Free Maps and Tourist Magazines -- lots of great deals.
- Especially in the Japanese ones.
- Visitor Information Center, located in a Gazebo at the Diamond Head end of the Waikiki strip, Corner of Kapahulu and Kalakaua
Language: English and Hawaiian -- but also Pidgin English.
- only state in the union with 2 official languages.
- In Waikiki you would think Japanese is a third official language
- Say Aloha!
- Hey Brah = Get your attention
- Braddah = Brother
- Wahine = Girl
Weather: Pretty Warm Year Round. BUT HUMID!!!!
ABC Store: Located on every corner. Everything you could possibly need.
Booking Stands: Avoid them like the plague -- oh, and avoid timeshares!
Free Entertainment: Lots of free entertainment in Waikiki:
- Evening Hula at the Hula Mound,
- Hula, Ukulele Lessons at the Royal Hawaiian Center
- Buskers on Kalakaua
- Friday Fireworks at the HHV
Food: Check out my Cheap Eats in Waikiki Video
You say soy sauce, we say shoyu
Spam: Spam is super popular in Hawaii. The difference is locals know how to cook it right, creating Spam musubi and Spam sushi.
Saimen: Local-style noodle soup.
Musubi (Spam Sushi Roll):
Loco Moco: rice, fried egg and hamburger patty, topped with gravy and a dash of shoyu.
Bento: A sushi lunchbox.
Shave Ice: Literally Shaved off a block of ice
Plate Lunch: A fixed plate meal, two scoops rice, one scoop macaroni and an entree.

As someone who lives on Oahu, I definitely recommend getting out of Honolulu itself and driving to the other spots on the island. The Kaneohe/Kailua side is right around the Koolau mountains and has incredible views. The North Shore, while it tends to get somewhat crowded as well (although probably not as much as Waikiki) has beautiful beaches and food spots as well. Definitely more locals hang out in these places.

Your comment outlining the fact that Waikiki is not in Japan is totally valid. Example: My Japanese sister in law, born and raised in Osaka, once told me she had never been to the United States. Then very shortly after that comment, she proceeded to tell me about her trip to Hawaii where she stayed in Waikiki. She was not joking in the slightest! She honestly visited Waikiki and came away with the notion that it is not part of 'Merica!

Hey, quick question, I hope you can give me an answer!! I’m an American, living in Japan, heading to Waikiki this weekend. Do you recommend exchanging my money or just bringing yen? What do you think would be easier? I can’t find much information on this subject... thanks!!

You'll be better off using USD. So yes, exchange your money. There are some places that will take yen, but it's not ubiquitous

I dont know about Waikiki and yen, away from Waikiki is only US dollars. It's best you exchange your yen, before coming to Hawaii. The atm fees is a little crazy high.
