International Market Place

Long overdue but my review years after the renovation has nothing but positive things to say. Firstly, they kept the beautiful tree and worked around this natural monument. It not only symbolizes preservation but also progression. We can modernize parts of Hawaii without completely destroying culture and tradition. Secondly, the facility is beautiful and well-maintained. The little ponds and vegetation in the middle area on the first floor are such a nice touch. But even throughout the floors, the plants and greenery definitely give this mall a feeling that we are still on Hawaii.Thirdly, I do appreciate the push for variety of stores the past few years. At first, I did see this mall as a high-end mall I didn't ever think I'd shop at. But lately, they've been adding more affordable stores and eateries that have now become options on the weekend. The only thing that really can't be helped is the parking. On event nights, it gets packed. Thankfully, I can keep up with the mall's or restaraunts' social media to see if I should avoid or not. The parking is one thing but the fights that breakout are also another reason to steer clear. Of course, these happen at like 2/3AM but still, it's a deterrent for sure. I am glad to give this mall a long overdue review that I believe it deserves. I'm glad it is thriving and still here. Without it, Waikiki would lose a place to hang and do stuff at. Keep going IMP!

Today, I'd like to share some history of how the banyan tree became a symbol of the International Market Place.The Banyan Tree at the International Market Place was planted in the mid-1800s by Henry and Eliza McFarlane. It has now grown to a height of 18 The establishment of Waikiki Village, the predecessor of the International Marketplace, began with the construction of the Dagger Bar and the Bazaar Building in 1956. Don Beach is a contributor to the development of Waikiki Village. He built a tree house in the Banyan Tree and worked while living there for the first time. The Banyan Tree has been a symbol of the Waikiki Village, which later developed into an international marketplace; it became popular with many people and has grown increasingly famous. Entertainers performed and danced under the banyan tree every day, and on Sundays they performed a luau on the beach, so it quickly became known to tourists as symbolic of entertainment in Waikiki. Waikiki Village has introduced the cultures of Hawaii and Polynesia to many people while mingling tradition with the modern era It still passes along these cultural expressions in Waikiki. If you quietly reflect upon the history of Hawaii as you see this tree house at the International Marketplace, you will surely be able to feel the powerful influence of the people who contributed to Hawaiian culture and economic development here every day.今日は皆さんにインターナショナルマーケットプレイスに在る巨大なバニアンツリーがどの様にして其処のシンボルになったのかをシェアしたいと思います。ワイキキインターナショナルマーケットプレイスのバニヤン·ツリーは1800年代半ばに、ヘンリー＆エリザ·マクファーレン夫妻によって植えられました。今では18メートルの高さにまで成長しているんですよ！インターナショナルマーケットプレイスの前身であるワイキキ·ヴィレッジの設立は1956年のダガー·バーとバザール·ビルの建築に始まります。ドン·ビーチはこの発展の影の功労者で、バニヤン·ツリーにツリーハウスを建て、初めてそこで生活をしながら働いていた人です。そのバニヤン·ツリーは、後にインターナショナルマーケットプレイスへと発展を遂げたワイキキ·ヴィレッジ時代からすでにシンボル的な存在で多くの人々に人気がありどんどん有名になった。エンタティナー達はバニアンツリーの下で日々演奏やダンスを披露し、また日曜日にはビーチでルアウを行うなどしたので、それは瞬く間にワイキキの象徴的なエンターテイメントとしてツーリストにも周知される事となった。ワイキキ·ヴィレッジは、この様に伝統を新しい時代にマッチさせながら、ハワイとポリネシアの文化を多くの人々に紹介した功績が有り、それは今も尚ワイキキで脈々と引き継がれているのです。インターナショナルマーケットプレイスでこのツリーハウスを見る時には静かにHawaiiの歴史を辿って下さい。当時此処でHawaii文化と経済発展の為に日々貢献して居た人々の力強い息吹をきっと感じる事が出来るでしょう。

Nice spot off the avenue to cool off from the heat. Expected tents of vendors but it is a present day shopping retail mall.Interesting mix of major brands and local shops. Tasty finds in the food court.Highlights to see:Giant indoor outdoor banyan tree enveloping a tree house.Cat cafe was too cute!

International Market is a good sized shopping mall that has a variety of shopping, food, and events going on at this establishment. Theres two sides to this mall. One side you're entering in from Kuhio, and if you go through the mall, which is in a bit of a slant, takes you directly to the street that Waikiki beach is on, just a few blocks left from the exit and you're there.There's lots of name brand shops that can be found here, and some decent eating spots o. The first, and third floors of this mall. The second floor is mostly shopping and shops, while floor 1 is a mixture of them depending on which side you're on. But the third floor is dedicated to eateries. Target is also here, so for those who need to shop got amenities and basics, this is a good spot around the corner.I would recommend dropping by here if you're not sure what to do, or just feel like a nice lazy day. It's definitely no Alo Moana, but it's far less crowded, and offers a variety of things of their own.

The International Market Place is an outdoor mall that houses a variety of retail shops and restaurants - I was pleasantly surprised to find a Mitsuwa, Balenciaga, Liliha Bakery, and a Vince store!The place itself is multi-level, and the greenery and the floral arrangements decorate the place well.The elevators, however, are a little slower to run and small in space; the garage, in which you can also get validation from restaurants and such, have sharp turns - just be cautious of drivers with large vehicles who are unable to operate their car appropriately. +tight corners in garage+slow elevators

This is a nice little mall in Waikiki Beach. There is metered street parking and commercial garages available within a reasonable walking distance. The Mall dates back to 1956. It was reopened in 2016 after a 3-year hiatus for renovations. It boasts being home to about 200 stores, is three levels and is 345,000 square feet. This is an open air mall and has lots of comfortable seating placed around, including a patio area with seating on the second level. There are couches, rocking chair and lounges on the first level. You will also find a staffed information desk on the first level, as well as the Market's food court. The food court is heavy on bars and also has a barbecue joint, and a burger joint. I really like the food court and have frequently ate at the restaurants there. The Mall's anchor is Target. A few of the other stores include: Lids, Abercrombie and Fitch, Pandora, Telsa, Sunglass Hut, Vans, Shoe Place, Pandora, Hollister, Foot Locker, Avis, Budget, and ABC stores. There is also an ice cream shop, a market, a night club, a magic show, and toy store here too. I did not see much security walking around, but I also did not see a need for secuity while I was at the Marketplace.The Marketplace is very clean and has a nature like feel to it. I really like the trees (especially the 100+ year old Banyan tree), landscaping and water feature that runs down to the main level. There are a few statues in the mall, as well as a green space area, known as the Queen's Court, where they hold events such as Queens Waikiki Luʻau and free Lei-making Workshop. I recommend checking this place out while you are in Waikiki. There is something for everyone here.

A must visit when staying in Waikiki, Honolulu area. A plethora of shops and restaurants and live shows/music as well.You can find exclusive brands here, buy a Tesla, shop at the Mitsuwa marketplace for some international treats, enjoy some Honolulu cookie company cookies, have a halo halo at Magnolia Ice cream and treats, pet a cat at the cat cafe, have a meal or dessert at Liliha bakery and many many more.Parking available and 3 floors of great shops to enjoy. The information booth is helpful and provides great service. Also plenty of photo op spots here with the huge banyan trees.

It's inevitable that this historic/iconic location and marketplace would go super commercial from what it once was. But honestly, I'm not complaining. I think they've done a great job with the place, adding three floors of shopping & dining real estate, while connecting Kuhio & Kalakaua Avenues. I think the place is beautiful!I LOVE how they kept the original banyan trees and that there is a historic section on the 2nd floor, paying tribute to the history and people. I LOVE that there are many sitting areas to get comfortable and enjoy, like the shaded rocking chairs on the 2nd floor overlooking central stage or the covered "cabana-like" seating on the 3rd floor. Overall, I enjoy going to International Marketplace when in Waikiki. For those who miss the old one, you can find the old vendor carts on Dukes Lane. It's called, Duke's Marketplace. You can haggle them and negotiate your price.

Beautiful shopping experience in the heart of Waikiki District. Plenty of shade, tropical atmosphere, and luxury boutiques galore. Gorgeous people everywhere, and the entire plaza is immaculately clean. A very safe, upscale experience. Also beautiful natural spaces with big trees and a nice waterfall. Parking is paid garage, and the plaza is walking distance to hotels and the beach . I walked here from my hotel only 6 minutes. Plenty of restaurants just steps away .
