I remember going to the IMP for the first time with my Mother in 1976 when I was 11 years old. It was a huge open air market filled with hundreds of small tents, stalls, and kiosks. You could buy original hand made Hawaiian jewelry, crafts, and souvenirs. The current iteration is generic and could literally be almost anywhere in the world. It's missing the raw authentic Hawaii of yesteryear. So glad I had the opportunity to see and experience that old part of Hawaii.

[@davidtiwana132]

Be in Waikiki in about a week. Very looking forward to it. We were busy being new parents. Three of us are back to celebrate our little girls and wife’s birthdays. Can’t wait. And your videos are super awesome. Let’s us walk vicariously with you

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww thanks! I've got a whole section of the channel as a "Waikiki Now" series with more walks 🌺 Plus, more on the blog yestohawaii.com

[@infinitytricks3716]

I miss the old food court. “Chois “ !!! was the best plate lunch in Waikiki back in the mid/late 80s all the way until renovations.

[@YestoHawaii]

Oh wow!

[@cristyreasons1581]

We love the International Market Place, for someone who doesn’t know what it was like back in the days, we love what it is now!

[@YestoHawaii]

Nice little spot to grab a tea or just walk around

[@rogerhoover8044]

Thanks BFF

[@iggy1172]

I remember when it was like small souvenir stores and bunch of small eateries in the back. This was in 2005. I like it better now

[@tamiewert808]

I love it there!! It's great shopping combined with natural beauty!! 😍

[@YestoHawaii]

Indoor-outdoor shopping areas are so nice!

[@nana-iv3si]

Youre so beautiful inside out, youre a sunshine, your videos always make me so happy , i love seeing hawaii and youre an amazing guide ❤️❤️

[@YestoHawaii]

Thank you! You too!

[@thejessta]

I love that Mitsuwa. I always at least grab a bottled drink I’ve never had before.

[@YestoHawaii]

Cute little grocery store!

[@user-ok1do4bj5g]

Great tour! Love the international Market Place!

[@YestoHawaii]

Mahalo! 🌺

[@reginaldnand2235]

Surprisingly my family and I ended up eating many meals at the Liliha bakery. The prices were very good, the portions were large and having a family of picky eaters, everyone found something they liked. Strip steak was too pricey for us. Looking forward to eating at Liliha bakery again this October.

[@YestoHawaii]

Riight!? It's a good spot and super reasonable pricing.

[@joerampley1562]

Very good casual shopping.

[@YestoHawaii]

Mahalo!

[@conchitapaz3938]

I still remember the old market place. Sad to see what it has become. All luxury stores😢

[@YestoHawaii]

The banyan tree is still intact! 🌺

[@robertlafnear7034]

I turned 21 up in the Bar that was in the Banyon Tree back in 1972 and spent about every weekend there for two years ........ this NEW and Improved Marketplace🤔..not so good but thats just me.

[@YestoHawaii]

Mixed reviews for sure!

[@ColleenToohey]

Thanks for another great video Miriam. Loving ❤️ all of them

[@YestoHawaii]

Thanks for watching them! 🌺

[@seastheday956]

Ooo! Was waiting for this. Thanks❤

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww thanks for watching! 🌺 More on yestohawaii.com

[@romania8718]

Very good and useful information! We would really appreciate a tour of the newly built Kuhio Shopping Centre (Mall) where the Food Pantry used to be. Thank you!

[@YestoHawaii]

I'm not sure what the Kuhio Shopping Center is?

[@feeltheworld]

you have a great channel imm the new sub here thanks for all of this

[@YestoHawaii]

Mahalo! 🌺 More on yestohawaii.com

Aloha & Mahalo~🤙

[@YestoHawaii]

[@bradmattocks7112]

Love watching your videos.. thanks for the awesome content. I just moved here and I don’t know if it’s something you’re up for but I would LOVE to find some videos/learn about proper pronunciation. I went to Kualoa ranch on Saturday and heard it said and said it myself at least 4 or 5 different ways. A “tips” video on not sounding like such an idiot about places would be AMAZING!! 😂❤

[@YestoHawaii]

Great idea!! Adding this to the list

[@rogerhoover8044]

Love it

[@YestoHawaii]

Mahalo!

[@curiousnomadic]

I really appreciate this. Thank you. Do you remember the old Marketplace? Do you miss anything about it?

[@YestoHawaii]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I do remember the old Marketplace - it was an interesting place 🌺

[@crystol2050]

Can you take a trolley or something to this location from The Twin Fin hotel?

[@YestoHawaii]

You can!

[@alenacesalek9961]

I like your videos! What time the Hula dance starts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? Thank you.

[@YestoHawaii]

Right now, it's 6:30pm. Here's a link: shopinternationalmarketplace.com/events/international-market-place-free-o-na-lani-sunset-stories-hula-show-3177bea3-28aa-4f7c-a43f-7c2b2f5cdfbc . There's more Hawaii content (Things to Do, Where to Stay, and Places to Eat) on my blog at yestohawaii.com 🌺

Thank you!@@YestoHawaii

[@doncheto9016]

what are you thoughts on Ohana east outrigger hotel i just booked for july

[@YestoHawaii]

Good location in the central part of Waikiki & affordable option

[@doncheto9016]

@@YestoHawaiii ended up booking hotel la croix , was more affordable and it using the extra budget for a rental car , i really want to drive on my own watch and explore the island

[@renegrevas2092]

Will the Target store at IMP be carrying food items or just general merchandise?

[@YestoHawaii]

I'd bet mix of the two. If they don't have what you're looking for, there's an ABC store on Kuhio Ave next door to the Lawlow Hotel (about 2 min walk from Target) that is pretty big & has some food items

[@davidmarks7728]

Is the target open yet i am arriving on the 14th of May.

[@YestoHawaii]

Not yet but hopefully soon!

[@christianalvarez7799]

I was there in June last year and they were working on the Target then. Its never going to open.

[@YestoHawaii]

Ye of little faith 🌺

[@eloisedupain]

🥰😍❤

[@YestoHawaii]

Mahalo! 🌺

[@Sabrina-od4mr]

Is the International Market place across from The Royal Hawaiian Center? Mahalo!

[@johnny1963ify]

Yep

[@YestoHawaii]

It's diagonal, a few minutes walk 🌺

[@lovetiger8942]

Dear when will this video be available . Thank you 💐💐💐

[@YestoHawaii]

Tomorrow! 🌺

[@lovetiger8942]

Thank you dear 🌹🌹🌹

[@808dms]

You don’t drink coffee??? 😳😵

[@YestoHawaii]

Nope! I can't stand the bitter flavor haha so I'm more of a matcha tea person

[@MrSteveb80]

lived in Oahu in the mid 60's. I'm sorry, but it's terrible what has become of the International Marketplace.

[@tamiewert808]

Lol what hasn't changed since the 60s! You are delusional😂

[@YestoHawaii]

A lot in general can change from mid-60s to 2020s.. over 60+ years!

[@MrSteveb80]

@@YestoHawaii but sometimes not for the better.

[@YestoHawaii]

@@MrSteveb80 Depends on the metric of what is considered ‘better.’ I never really know how to reply to comments like this. I think it’s unrealistic to desire that a place stay frozen in time after 60 years - not just Hawaii but any place in the world. I’m not sure where you’re from MrSteveb80 but I would imagine wherever it is has also changed in 60 years. With population growth, jobs, and overall growth.. Honolulu is the capital & a main city. But if a quieter pace is the aim, there’s other areas of Oahu (like North Shore) or even other islands like Kauai 🌺

[@markalexander1350]

Same here, a great local flavor, and good prices when I was there in 2002, totally changed when I returned in 2016. All upscale and trendy. Real sad.

[@SoulSister444]

awful. used to be so wonderful and a place to experience real Hawaii. Now it's an overpriced mall.

[@YestoHawaii]

?

[@beachrose88]

the market place has been destroyed. you are a baby so have no clue. as to how wonderful it was before destroyed and rebuilt. FOR THE RICH TOURISTS. SHAMEFUL..OAHU. HAS SOLD ITS SOUL

[@vladimirneiroset]

A male cameraman would keep a girl in the frame and that would be correct. It would be more interesting! Why does the girl constantly hide behind the camera while driving? Well, thanks anyway!

[@YestoHawaii]

This kind of comment... smh

[@crystol2050]

I like that she is showing where the sites are, rather than just camera on her the entire time. Just my opinion

[@trishmiller3086]

I enjoy the smooth camera person showing what you’re talking about! 🙌😉
