About Maui Island

Details
The second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, Maui is slightly larger than Kagawa Prefecture and has a population of approximately 130,000 people. Sightseeing is the principal industry, and the area features many resort hotels and golf courses. Back when the sugar cane industry was booming, many Japanese immigrants endured 12 or more hours of hard work each day in the intense heat, suffering cuts on their hands from the sharp sugar cane leaves (you can learn more at the Sugar Museum). Maui's nickname is "The Valley Isle," and the island's flower is the Lokelani, a variety of rose. Fukuyama's flower is a rose as well, meaning that the two places share the same symbol.
