Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Oahu Area

However, there’s only one we recommend for a casual visit: The Ala Moana Shopping Center. It’s hailed as the largest open-air mall in the world, and in addition to nearly 300 shops, it has about 80 dining venues, including the locally-beloved Shirokiya Japan Village Walk."

Long story short, the old International Marketplace was more akin to a Polynesian craft market, while the new International Marketplace, renovated and opened in 2016, features vendors like Rolex and Tesla.
