When I traveled to Hawaii in the summer of 2023, I compiled a summary of the money I actually spent.
I had heard that Hawaii could be quite expensive due to the weak yen and high prices, but while it’s true that the cost of living is high, I managed to enjoy my trip to Hawaii by incorporating some casual elements. I savored casual plate lunches at food trucks and grabbed takeout from Whole Foods (the supermarket), striking a balance between enjoying the experience and keeping costs in check.
This time, I’ve compiled details such as the menu items and prices from the restaurants I visited in Hawaii, as well as the prices of items I purchased at popular souvenir shops.
For those planning to visit Hawaii in the future, I hope you find this information helpful!

I aimed for Turtle Bay, where there is a hotel and right next to it is a beach called Kuilima Cove.
This beach isn’t a private beach, so it’s accessible to people other than hotel guests as well.
I summarized my experience playing with my 6-year-old and 8-year-old kids at Kuilima Cove this time.
Additionally, on the way from Waikiki, I was able to see sea turtles at Lanikai Beach.
Both beaches offered a more relaxed atmosphere compared to Waikiki, allowing us to enjoy a laid-back vibe. I highly recommend considering them as options.
