Retro 1950s town meets vintage dolls

About This Event

The 28th annual hina tour takes place in the 'Showa-no-Machi' (Showa Town) shopping district, which recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of 1950s Japan. Hina dolls from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras are displayed alongside retro signage and vintage buildings, creating a time-traveling experience. A popular 1957 bonnet bus offers mini-tours of about 15 minutes, mainly on weekends. This uniquely combines the charm of Showa-era nostalgia with vintage hina dolls for an experience found nowhere else.
