About
From late March to early April, hina dolls fill Honmachi Machiya Street in Takahashi, a town known as the Little Kyoto of Bitchu. Dolls from the Edo period to the present Reiwa era are displayed along the old streetscape, and locals welcome you as you walk around. On the final day and the day before, a street bazaar is held along Honmachi and the Konyagawa canal. It is free to visit, about a 15-minute walk from Bitchu-Takahashi Station on the JR Hakubi Line. 2026 marked its 19th edition. For inquiries, contact the festival's executive committee office.
