[2025 Konosu Attraction] Travel Guide for Konosu City Cultural Center (Updated May)

I came to Konosu to see the 17th Konosu Surprise Hinamatsuri 2022. When you think of Konosu during the Hinamatsuri season, you think of the tallest pyramid-shaped doll stand in Japan! It's such a popular event that it's even featured on the news and variety shows. In addition to that, Hinamatsuri events were held all over the place, and the whole town was full of energy. I went to Claire Konosu after hearing that Konosu Hina dolls were on display. Inside the facility, Konosu Hina dolls, a traditional industry of Konosu, are on display, and the neatly lined up dolls are simply breathtaking! Because they are handmade by artisans, each doll has a different face, which adds to the charm. Because they are displayed on a glass wall, you can see the fine craftsmanship of the dolls from behind. At Claire Konosu, the male and female signs in the restrooms and the social distance footprint marks at the feet are also decorated with pictures of Hina dolls, which is cute! Hinamatsuri was originally one of the five seasonal festivals, called "Joshi no Sekku," and has a history of spreading as a combination of seasonal events to ward off evil spirits and doll-playing. I also prayed for an early end to the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can see many Hina dolls at Hinanosato in Konosu City. It seems that traditional Japanese Hinamatsuri dolls are made by hand by craftsmen one by one. Real plum blossoms were also displayed. It's a little far from Tokyo, but I think it's worth going.

I went to see the Hinamatsuri in Konosu City. I arrived right at closing time, but I was able to see the sunset and the Hina dolls. The entrance is hard to find. You have to go to the second floor to see it. Be careful, you can't get in from the park. If there's a concert, the parking lot will be full, so be careful when you go. It was very cold when I visited, so the pond was frozen. #hina dolls #hinamatsuri #trip2022

Claire Konosu is one of the exhibition venues for the Konosu Surprise Doll Festival 2022. Claire Konosu is a cultural center in Konosu City, and is usually used for various music events. Various events are held here, from classical to dance, concerts and competitions. The second floor here is a glass folding screen! The park scenery is displayed on the folding screen, and you can take photos that you normally can't take, such as dolls and a sunset or dolls and a blue sky. I was also surprised by the dolls on the wall. They are also lined up in a neat and regular order here. I could feel the attention to detail of the person who displayed them.
