Here, amidst the remnants of Akizuki Castle, alongside culturally designated gates and homes, the town&#8217;s historical essence is palpable. With the arrival of the Hina Matsuri season, the town transforms, inviting visitors to partake in a &#8220;Hina Meguri&#8221; (Doll Tour), wandering through its streets adorned with festive displays. A standout feature of this celebration is the unique Hina decoration at the Akizuki Castle ruins. The 21 stone steps leading up to the long house gate are ingeniously repurposed as a tiered display, presenting over 600 Hina dolls donated by the community. This display is not only a testament to the town&#8217;s rich cultural heritage but also a visually stunning experience.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-002.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hina Meguri in the Ancient Capital Akizuki, \u53e4\u90fd\u79cb\u6708 \u96db\u3081\u3050\u308a\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-002.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-002.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-002.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-002.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2\/10 (Sat.) ~ 3\/3 (Sun.)<br \/>\n*A display on the stone steps will be exhibited only on Sat., Sun., and hol. 10:00~16:00 (in case of rain, the exhibition will be cancelled)<br \/>\n\u2022 Free (some facilities require a fee)<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/zgcirJZM3fj3AYQn9\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nagayamon Gate of Akizuki Castle Ruins<\/a>, the castle town of Akizuki  (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/qP7KxBnxAJ2riqic6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Akizuki, Asakura City<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/uovgKK4826TcTwEL9\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Akizukinotori<\/a>) and more<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/asakuraiku.jimdofree.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/asakuraiku.jimdofree.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-001.jpg?resize=1400%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hina Meguri in the Ancient Capital Akizuki, \u53e4\u90fd\u79cb\u6708 \u96db\u3081\u3050\u308a\" width=\"1400\" height=\"819\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-001.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-001.jpg?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-001.jpg?resize=1024%2C599&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_hinamatsuri-koto-akizuki_2024_cl-001.jpg?resize=768%2C449&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akizuki, a town rich in atmosphere and history, once thrived as a castle town.
