We, the Iki Iki Aloha Hula Circle, are from various areas in Toyama Prefecture. Our ages mainly range from middle to golden. According to our motto, "Always smile and keep peace in mind," we participate in numerous volunteer activities. We promote our regions and visit community facilities based in our lovely homeland, surrounded by beautiful mountains and ocean. At a recent audition, we won the award for "Best Street Performers." We have participated in the Honolulu Festival for 4 consecutive years.

[ Toyama ]
This is Takaoka Ryukoku High School's second consecutive excursion to Hawaii. This is also our second time to participate in the Honolulu Festival. We will perform our lively YOSAKOI once again. Please come out to see energetic high school students from Japan.
We are from Toyama Prefecture and practice the traditional art of hula at Shinjoji Temple. Our goal is to treasure the cultural heritage of hula and to understand the true meaning of Hawaiian and Aloha spirit. We strive to dance by sharing the feelings of ohana and aloha as our foundation.
Our group enjoys the playing the Taisho Goto, a traditional Japanese instrument. We enjoy playing various types of music, however we emphasize preserving the older songs of Japan. We also enjoy playing Hawaiian songs. Please come and listen to our music.
