North Kohala Artists' Co-op and Kenji's House Museum

North Kohala Artists' Co-op and Kenji's House Museum is located off Akoni Pule Highway (20) on the north tip of the Island of Hawaii. The cooperative was established in 2007 by a group of local artists who based a museum at the home of the late local artist Kenji Yokoyama. The museum is open daily from 11am to 5pm and special group tours can also be accommodated.

The museum at Kenji's House shows the many items he collected including thousands of rocks and shells created into sculptures. As well as the shell sculptures, the museum contains personal artifacts, furniture and well preserved hand tools. Kenji also documented what he found with extensive research done on what he found in the ocean, and these volumes can also be seen here.

The work of local artists can be viewed here too with many fine examples of watercolor paintings, prints, monoprints, photography, wood and stone sculptures and garden art amongst other things. Kenji's roadside garage has been converted into a restaurant with two outdoor seating areas. Visitors can enjoy grilled to order burgers, chicken and lamb kebabs, pasta, seafood, salads and much more at this small bistro.
