KANAKA VILLAGE Kanaka is a Hawaiian word meaning "person."
A term referring to the people of the Pacific Islands.

In 1830, Kanaka people came from Hawaii
and settled on Chichijima, which was then uninhabited.
Since then, the island has been continuously inhabited.

And this is
where the Kanaka settlement once stood.

Perhaps because of the waterfall nearby,
now called "Tokeshi Waterfall,"
which never dries up throughout the year,

KANAKA VILLAGE stands
in the most suitable location
for human habitation.
