Postscript.
If it is in Hawaii, we are considering places other than Oahu.
I have never visited Kauai or Maui, but I imagine that they are good for a relaxing stay.

If you have experience in food and beverage, why don't you apply for a job with visa support available on Vivinavi ？
Whether you can do it or not, you can take a step forward by applying ！ first.

As Maya-san advised, there are not many companies that offer visa support,
so your first priority would be to find one that does.

You can also apply for the green card lottery, investor visa, etc.
Some people are self-employed and move to Hawaii.

Students and tourists cannot work and earn money, so the first step is to find a visa
for an environment where you can live.

Thank you.
I did not check the jobs at BibiNavi, so I will check it.

Thanks for the advice.
I may have not worded it correctly, but I have already checked many visas for immigration, and that is why I asked for your advice.
I have also applied for a green card.

We don't have a full day school in Hawaii … only a remedial school.

Jikoen Hongwanji Lumbini Preschool has mostly Japanese teachers and they can teach you quite well in Japanese.

It seems that the government is dividing the wealthy (Market Price) and the common people (Affordable) in the same condominium in order to prevent the deterioration of public safety. The lower floors may be Affordable.

Affordable units can be bought for about $250,000 less depending on the property, but some of them do not have access to a gym.

Since Corona, many investors and remote workers have moved to Hawaii, and
single-family homes have skyrocketed. Condos have also gone up.

Hawaii is an island, so I think of it as comfortable country living.
It cannot be compared to a Japanese place. It is totally different from Japan.

Topic.
The reason I started this topic is because I told someone who lives in Japan that I live near Waikiki but rarely go there and he wondered why I don't go there. ？ I thought it was Asakusa, but I wondered if there was a better analogy.
I think it is natural for everyone to feel differently. There is no correct answer.

Kakaako is not a good image of the area, but

Waikiki is Shinjuku ？
Shinjuku has an image of crime with many yakuza and adult entertainment
Then I thought of Asakusa ？ but
Asakusa still has an image of Showa-style coffee shops where you can smoke inside and
inexpensive standing eateries.
I still think Ginza fits the bill.

It's been quite a while since the pandemic.
There's been a temporary increase in working from home, but not nearly back to where it was before the pandemic ？

And I don't understand how it makes sense that if people stay home more often, there will be more infidelity.

I know a woman (in her 50s) who works from early morning to late at night, and she said she can barely pay her rent and eat. I asked her if she was not better off going back to her parents' house in Japan and working part time ？. She replied, "I want to marry you, but most middle-aged Japanese men are bald and not very cool, but there are middle-aged men here who are cool and have a lot of hair. I wanted to advise her that these men with fluffy hair would be looking for young attractive women, not old ladies like you, but I decided not to. There seem to be a lot of middle-aged Japanese women in Hawaii who are just too good to be true.

I think Hawaii is the worst right now
Prices are too high and there are many homeless people. The number of Japanese and tourists has decreased a lot. Ten years ago, even though prices were relatively high, it was not a cosmopolitan island. Even for ordinary people. I am honestly worried about what will happen in the future.

I think there are men and women like that everywhere, not just in Hawaii.
In the end, people with the same vibrations are attracted to each other, so there are people who can marry and have
partners no matter where they go.
I think the key is being able to read the atmosphere.

There are many attractive people in Hawaii, both men and women, who have been married more than once.

Men and women are not only good looking, but especially in Hawaii, those who can afford it
will be in great demand.
If you get a job that pays well, you might be popular.

The parking lot in the airport is the same as it used to be, and I believe the first floor pick-up area for the free 20 minutes is also the same as it used to be, but I'm sorry if it's under construction. No general vehicles can enter. So, it is very difficult to pick up passengers as soon as they come out, like in the past, because they can't find a place to park their car and have to go around several times
Many people come to the upper departure level and wait at the end of the hall to pick up their luggage If you don't have much luggage, it's easiest for the driver to have a shuttle come to the cellphone waiting lot.

Airport pickup is usually the way to go. You can pick up in one shot. You shouldn't have to do several rounds unless you accidentally passed by it or something.

どなたかから返答いただけましたか？
彼はまだ日本におりというのは3歳の息子さんの事ですか？質問主さんは今ハワイにいるのでしょうか？今から探して7月から通えるプリスクールは見つからない思います。もしかしたら特殊な所があれば受け入れてもらえるかもしれませんが。普通は学校が始まる1年前位にはもう定員が埋まっている所がほとんどだと思います。
予防接種に関しては息子さんがお世話になる小児科を決めて、そこのドクターにアドバイスを貰う事になるのでは無いでしょうか？

I don't know if this will be helpful as it is a bit old, but
Here is the information about the immunization shots when my son came to Hawaii in 2018 at the age of 4.

MR, mumps, and chickenpox are live vaccines in Japan, so we had to re-give inactive vaccines.

Hib is covered by one MMRV （ combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox ） in Hawaii.

As a result, the inoculations I had in Japan were much wasted.
Even if I had received all the routine inoculations, I would have had to get 4 additional inoculations: 1 quadruple combination DPT-IPV, 1 MMRV, 1 measles, and 1 Hib.

In my case, I myself had come to HA first and consulted with the pediatrician, but was told that I could not proceed until he arrived
My husband and son arrived,
I requested the shots along with the physical examination to be submitted to the preschool,
and checked them against my mother-child book. I checked it against my mother's health handbook and got the necessary inoculations3.

Central Union can get you in if you donate money. There are many Japanese children who are expatriates and come in halfway through the year. The local resident group has an exam every year in January, but there are no children who come in from the middle of the year because they are expatriates or something. Recently in the last three or four years, the popularity of the school has decreased and if they take the exam, they all pass, so that may have something to do with it.

Hello.
I just moved to Hawaii from Japan last October
and enrolled my daughter in Central Union.
We got in without any test or interview. ！
Since I didn't understand English very well, a Japanese speaking person from Central Union accompanied me to visit the school.

When I arrived in Hawaii, I made an appointment to visit the school and was allowed to tour the school. I visited a pediatrician who speaks Japanese and got a certificate for necessary vaccinations. I showed my MCH handbook to the pediatrician and everything went smoothly, including the missing vaccinations ？ ！.
