Hina tour in Satsuma samurai district
Centered around Chiran, where beautifully preserved Satsuma clan samurai residences still stand, hina dolls are displayed at various locations throughout Minami-Kyushu City. The samurai residence gardens of Chiran, designated as an Important Preservation District, are known as the 'Little Kyoto of Satsuma,' providing an exquisite backdrop for hina displays. Limited-edition 'Hina Gozen' meals and 'Hina Sweets' are available, along with a stamp rally offering chances to win Chiran tea gift sets. The collaboration between Chiran's famous tea culture and hina traditions makes this festival uniquely appealing.
