A hinamatsuri special exhibition held in Asuka Village, Nara. This 'Land of Ancient Romance' preserves numerous historical heritage sites from the Asuka period, including palace ruins and stone monuments, and visitors can view traditional hina dolls amid these ancient surroundings. Asuka Village was the center of Japanese state formation and is celebrated in the Manyoshu poetry anthology. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience hinamatsuri traditions in a setting steeped in millennia of history. Renting a bicycle to explore the village's archaeological sites while enjoying the hina displays is highly recommended.
