The 'Big Hinamatsuri' at Tokyo Fuji Art Museum in Hachioji breathes new life into donated hina dolls, displaying them on a grand scale within the museum's spacious exhibition halls. As a relatively new Hinamatsuri event in the Tokyo area, it draws attention for its refined museum presentation of traditional dolls. Visitors can also enjoy the museum's permanent collection of Western paintings and Japanese art. Hachioji serves as a gateway to Mount Takao, making it possible to combine nature walks with art appreciation for a full day's outing.
