Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is more than just the lagoon harbor on the island of O‘ahu that it would seem to at first glance, Hawaii; it is a significant historical site that pays tribute to a pivotal moment in U.S. history. The surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States on the morning of December 7, 1941, led to the country's direct involvement in World War II.

The emotional resonance of Pearl Harbor provides a profound understanding of the past, reinforcing the importance of peace and international accord.

The mill's rustic charm, combined with the vibrant ambiance of the food court, makes for an immersive experience, as you dine amidst the echoes of Hawai‘i's past.
