We are the Parents of the bride. We are meeting our soon to be son-in-law's Japanese parents at the wedding in Hawaii. We will be meeting at a hotel. Should we bring them a small gift?

ask your soon to be son in law. when my family comes for a visit (to japan) they always bring something for my in laws. i tell them to bring something made/produced in california (where i'm from) wine, beer, almonds, olive oil, the list goes on.
i'm sure others here will have some better advice.

O'sakana, we did ask, however, he isn't sure since we will be on neutral ground. If we do bring a gift, it will be a small item. We don't want to embarrass them if a gift isn't appropriate.

If Hawaii is part of your country, just do it the American way, whatever that generally is.
Generally speaking, in Japan, those who are visiting is supposed to bring the gift/souvenior. But if you wish to give them a small welcome gift, I see nothing wrong with that at all either. In fact, conservative people in Japan do give something as the visitor leaves for home.
Happy wedding!
