Q: What else is good about Volcano Village? 

A: Volcano Village is a very small town, with about 2200 people. It stretches from the 22-mile marker at Atkatsuka Orchid Farm to the Volcano Golf Course straight above the National Park.  It doesn’t have all the big town amenities like Walmart, Target, and supermarkets but it does have two gas stations, two grocery stores, several restaurants, a post office, and other small-town Farmers' Markets on Sundays and Art Galleries.  All-in-all you should be able to experience many of the basics that you need here while enjoying this rather artsy-fartsy little village. A reminder that there are only a few stores up here tho they may not meet all your wants & medical needs, so for extended stays, we suggest you plan ahead and stock up at Walmart, Longs Drug Store or Cost-U-Less in Hilo before you arrive.  Hilo is approximately 45 minutes away on Hwy 11 (N).
