Hilo, the largest town on the Big Island, is located on the northeastern part of the island where the weather is rainy and the scenery is that of a lush tropical rain forest.
With an average of over 270 rainy days a year, Hilo is less a vacation destination for sun seekers and more a home base for exploring the vast natural wonders of the Big Island.
With a relatively large population of Japanese origin, downtown Hilo offers several good Japanese restaurants.
Hotels in Hilo are located oceanfront on the small Waiakea Peninsula, about one mile from downtown.
