The historic Hotel Shirakawa is located on the Big Island of Hawaii, also known as Hawaii Island. This hotel is located in the quiet and peaceful little town of Waiohinu nestled on the calming slopes of Mauna Loa. Waiohinu is a typical plantataion style community that has changed very little over the decades, giving those that stay a look into a simpler Hawaii. Despite being far from the bustling city crowds, the Hotel Shirakawa is still convenient to dining, shopping, and hiking.
