The history of the business dates back to 1945, when Ernest Watanabe, a soldier stationed in Brisbane, Australia, began growing flowers outside his barracks. Missing his fiancé, Shizue, he thought about the reunions that would take place after the war. Upon returning home, Ernest, alongside his parents and new wife, began growing roses in the backyard of his grandfather’s home. This small beginning expanded into farms in Hawaii Kai, Wai’anae, Mililani, and eventually Kamuela on the Big Island. In 1974, the next generation returned to the business and helped expand operations. The company continues to operate from its location at 1618 N. Nimitz Hwy in Honolulu, serving the local community with its floral expertise.
Watanabe Floral, Inc. stands as a long-established local institution in Honolulu, combining eight decades of family history with a strong reputation reflected in its high customer rating.
