Akizuki, dotted with the ruins of Akizuki Castle and other gates and residences designated as cultural assets, is an elegant town that once prospered as a castle town. During the hina decoration season, historic hina dolls are displayed throughout the town and open to the public, so you can enjoy “Hina Meguri” while strolling the streets. This year, there are 28 displays. Among them, the display of more than 600 Hina dolls donated by citizens on the 21 stone steps in front of the Nagayamon Gate of Akizuki Castle Ruins, which are used as a platform for displaying Hina dolls, is particularly worth seeing (February 23, 26-27, March 5-6, or canceled in case of rain).
