“Hinamatsuri” (Girl’s Day) is a traditional Japanese festival celebrated on March 3rd, during which families pray for the health and well-being of young girls.

During “Hinamatsuri,” special dolls called hina-ningyo (believed to protect children by absorbing evil spirits and misfortune) are displayed from the beginning of spring (February 4th) until the day of the festival, March 3rd. The dolls represent the Emperor and Empress, along with attendants and musicians dressed in traditional court attire of the Heian period.

It is traditionally believed that the dolls should be packed away promptly after March 3rd to avoid delaying a daughter’s future marriage.

We also celebrate “Hinamatsuri” and have prepared decorations in our lobby near the entrance, so the hina-ningyo can welcome our guests when they check in or return after a day of sightseeing. You can also take a look at the decorations on our Instagram page.

We hope you will enjoy this year’s “Hinamatsuri”!
