Yanagawa Hinamatsuri - Sagemon Meguri
Held every year from February11 to April3, this spring tradition in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka, is one of the region’s most beloved seasonal events. Sagemon are decorative ornaments made by combining small fabric charms shaped like auspicious animals-such as cranes and turtles-with Yanagawa mari, a traditional local craft. They are displayed for Hinamatsuri to pray for girls’ health and good fortune.
Spring is the perfect time to visit. The weather is nice and cool, and the whole town is filled with Hinamatsuri vibes. The atmosphere really feels so Japanese.
