Japan celebrates Hina Matsuri (aka Girls’ Day or Doll’s Day)

Every 3rd of March, families across Japan celebrate Hina Matsuri (aka Girls’ Day or Doll’s Day) to pray for the well-being of girls, by displaying ceramic dolls dressed in ornate costumes of the ancient imperial court.

The regional custom in Kyushu is to display these elaborate Edo-era dolls from January to April. 

From hanging dolls to floating dolls, be awed by their extensive collection and exquisite craftsmanship at events like the Water Parade. 

Tuck into a ceremonial kaiseki meal after the events to complete the cultural experience.
