Hayashida Hinamatsuri

A hinamatsuri in the Hayashida district of Himeji, Hyogo. Hayashida is a historic area that prospered as the castle town of the Hayashida Domain during the Edo period. Hina dolls are displayed in historic buildings including the Former Miki Family Residence (a village headman's house) and private homes. Visitors can stroll through the old townscape nestled in a quiet mountain valley while appreciating hina dolls carefully passed down through local families. Located a short distance from central Himeji, this lesser-known event offers a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying hinamatsuri.
