Nagashibina Doll Museum

The Nagashibina Doll Museum displays over one thousand Japanese dolls and ornaments related to the Doll Festival from various historical periods, including Edo period specimens.

The museum opened in 1986 to preserve the Nagashibina tradition, where paper dolls are placed on straw boats and floated down rivers during the Doll Festival.

The museum building design takes inspiration from Kinkaku-ji Temple architecture and features traditional Japanese gardens that complement the exhibition spaces inside.

Visitors can reach the museum via a five-minute walk from Mochigase Station or by car, taking a twenty-five-minute drive from Tottori Station.

The museum offers workshops where participants create their own Nagashibina dolls and Sandawara boats, guided by members of the local Tokiwa Nagashibina organization.
