The Hina festival is an annual Japanese event held in the hopes of healthy growth and happiness for girls.

It’s normally held on March 3, but in Hagi, it takes place from February 3 to April 3, during which some 1,200 Hina dolls are displayed at numerous venues throughout the city. Approximately 400 of these Hina dolls are displayed at the former Kubota family residence, which is the event’s primary venue. This one location provides a variety of unique Hina dolls for visitors to enjoy. Visitors are invited to spend some time appreciating these precious Hina dolls, which have been preserved from the Edo period up to today, as well as the historical buildings where they are exhibited.
