(Year 2014, between 23rd Mar and 6th Apr)
*Hina-matsuri is held on 3rd Mar and it is a special day and festival for girls.


Late Feb '14

This festival started in 1989 and it is not a typical tradition in Japan but this festival has a meaning of memorial service for dolls.
Therefore, those dolls which are not displayed in a house are sent from around Japan.

Traditional and typical Hina-dolls.
