I wasn't motivated to go to Hawaii, which is the most famous destination of Japanese tourists going abroad. It is because Hawaii has no railway for passengers. I don't like to travel by taxi and my hobby is watching trains.
After opening of Honolulu HART(Honolulu Authority Rapid Transportation), I would like to go there.
