https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liliuokalani_Park_and_Gardens>The park's site was donated by Queen Liliʻuokalani, and lies southeast of downtown Hilo, on the Waiakea Peninsula in Hilo Bay. Much of the park now consists of Edo-style Japanese gardens, built 1917-1919, and said to be the largest such gardens outside Japan.They based it on this place and used the rest of the town to show the fact that Hawaii got influenced. Same reason Konikoni is Chinese.
