Japan's tallest Doll Festival display opens today
The doll’s pyramid display in Kounosu Saitama is the tallest "hina matsuri" (doll festival) dolls display in the whole of Japan. There are 31 platforms and it is 7 metres high. In previous years, the display was hosted in the city hall, but this year they have moved the display to the much more accessible Elumi shopping mall, beside the Konosu train station. The station is on the Takasaki line and can be reached from Tokyo in about one hour. The mall's website is: http://www.elumikonosu.com/
Other areas of Kounosu also have doll displays. Most are tiered displays, but Kakyuu no sato also has beautiful hanging doll ornaments. All of the exhibits are now open to the public. More information in Japanese is available on the official site: http://kounosubina.main.jp/
