Hāmākua is a district on the northeast coast of Hawaii's Big Island, administered by the County of Hawaii in the state of Hawaii. It is also the name given for the coastline in the region, the "Hāmākua Coast". ==Description== Hāmākua's coast is approximately long, along the Pacific Ocean around , ending at Waipio Valley and the uninhabited Waimanu Valley. The term Hāmākua Coast is used loosely to describe the region between Hilo and Waipio, although the modern Hāmākua zoning district begins north of Laupāhoehoe and west of Ōōkala. The rainfall due to the prevailing northeasterly tropical trade winds produces steep erosional valleys and cliffs, showing evidence of frequent landslides. The lush vegetation and lack of sandy beaches contrasts sharply with other regions of the island. The dominating geographic feature in Hāmākua is the volcanic mountain Mauna Kea. The district stretches south through the central plateau to the summit of Mauna Loa. Hāmākua was one of the six traditional districts of the island in ancient Hawaii (known as ''moku''). To the north beyond Waipio Valley is the Kohala district, with the older volcano Kohala mountain. According to (Hui Mālama i ke Ala Ūlili ), Hāmākua is known for its "steep mountain trails." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamakua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
