From January 20, 2024 (Sat) to March 10, 2024 (Sun), the Hotel Gajoen Tokyo is holding the “Millennium Hina Meguri: Thoughts Passed Down from Heian to Modern Times – Hyakudan Hina Matsuri 2024” at the Hotel Gajoen Tokyo.

This year’s exhibition, the first in four years, is a spectacular showcase of 1,300 dolls, from period-traveling masterpieces to doll decorations that have taken root in the local community, as well as doll implements and craftwork.

Richly individualistic doll decorations with a strong sense of local history and characteristics

The former Ito Den’emon Residence, the main venue for the festival held in Iizuka City from February to March and an Important Cultural Property of Japan, is decorated with numerous hina dolls. The most eye-catching of these, the “Zashiki Hina” dolls, are displayed under a different theme each year. This year, the former Ito residence and Hotel Gajoen Tokyo will be linked, inviting visitors to a world of elegant Heian picture scrolls.
