Shinmachi: Stronger Than a Tsunami | PBS HAWAIʻI PRESENTS

Shinmachi: Stronger Than a Tsunami focuses on the Japanese business district in Hilo called Shinmachi that was destroyed by a deadly tsunami on April 1, 1946. Families salvaged what they could to rebuild only to have the district wiped out again by another deadly tsunami in 1960. Surviving residents recall the community resilience to keep the spirit of Shinmachi alive today.

Lived on the Big Island from the mid 80's-2005. We used to patronize many of these local businesses in Hilo. Great to learn/hear their stories and origins. Aloha Nui Loa from da kine in Asia.
