The Hina Doll Festival

Oops, I am two weeks late but here are some pictures I took on March third, the day of the Hina Masturi. It is also a day that celebrates girls, so families with daughters have a special dinner as well as displaying dolls. Sorry, I don't have any children so I can't show you any dinner pictures ...


Makabe Town in Sakuragawa City near Tsukuba has a nice Doll Festival where over 100 shops and houses display Hina dolls in their windows. You can even go inside some houses to take a look.


Honestly speaking, some of the very old dolls are a little scary to look at!
