Hinamatsuri Marché at Kurakata Dolls

A Hinamatsuri marché held at Kurakata Ningyo, a prestigious doll shop with over 180 years of history. The popular free experience corner allows visitors of all ages to dress up as hina dolls in authentic costumes handcrafted by artisans. The concurrent Sakuragi Marché features food stalls serving takoyaki, gyoza shumai, strawberry daifuku, and other local treats for a festive atmosphere. Visitors receive complimentary hina-arare (traditional rice crackers), and the event offers a rare chance to see doll craftsmen at work up close.
