<\/p>\nIn Kitsuki, a castle town that still preserves its Edo-period town layout, hina dolls are displayed in samurai residences, merchant houses, and other historic buildings throughout the city. One of Kitsuki\u2019s most distinctive features is its so-called \u201csandwich-style\u201d geography, with samurai estates lining elevated ground to the north and south, and the former townspeople\u2019s quarter spread through the valley between them. Exhibition venues are concentrated in the castle town area and extend to the Yamaga and Ota areas, with hina doll displays shown at a total of 27 locations across the city. Visitors can enjoy the displays while walking through Kitsuki\u2019s historic streets and varied townscape. Another highlight of the event is the number of visitors who choose to explore the town in traditional dress. Those who visit wearing kimono receive free admission to Kitsuki Castle and samurai residences, adding to the atmosphere and making the stroll through the historic town even more memorable.<\/p>\n
