Hawai‘i’s history is the story of a coming together of industrious people from far-away corners of the world.

Today, islanders compose an intricate web of diverse cultures, traditions, customs, and histories. They are, however, all united in a singular belief: that their greatest fortune is to call Hawai‘i home. They are proud stewards of the ‘āina (land) and have a deep love and respect for this paradise in the Pacific.

Surrounded by thousands of miles of ocean, this island state has just over 6,400 square miles of land. As beautiful as they are finite, these expanses and limited natural resources influence how the people of Hawai‘i approach issues of land use, development, and doing business. The challenge of creating a new enterprise here is to find, embrace, and achieve a delicate balance between varying interests within the context of a rigorous maze of regulations not found elsewhere in the country.

Opportunities exist here if one knows where to look and where to begin. Sophisticated businesses acknowledge this unique cultural landscape and seek a proficient, local, and knowledgeable guide like Imanaka Asato to help them achieve their business goals.
