In this season, you can find delicate and beautiful dolls everywhere in the town.

 

These were the dolls decorated at Hotel Okura.

Every year, dolls from the Okura family are displayed in the lounge with beautiful Peach blossoms.

Hinamatsuri is a festival that wishes for the health and happiness of girls.

It is said that Hina dolls understand accidents and plagues on behalf of girls and protect them.

It became an even more important event since my daughters were born.

 

May my daughters grow up healthy and happily!
