Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo (KPH), one of Japan’s most prestigious international hotels located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, will will host an event entitled “Hina-matsuri” to celebrate Japan’s cultural event known as Girls’ Doll Festival from February 1 (Wednesday) to March 31 (Friday), 2023.
Every year, through February and March, Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo celebrates the Hina-matsuri festival, a time when families pray for the health and growth of their daughters. This highly popular event is held annually and displays some 4,500 magnificent and ornate hanging art ornaments made by hand from old silk cloth. These ornaments are carefully crafted for this exhibition and symbolically reflect the hopes for health and happiness of children. For example, the decorations created for this exhibition have various symbolic meaning such as monkeys with the ability to ward off calamities, and mandarin ducks reflecting love between spouses.
Also, special menu items commemorating the “Hina-matsuri” Girls’ Doll Festival will be served at four of our restaurants during the months of February and March 2023. The restaurants are doing something special for the festival, with menus offering colorful and exquisite dishes that highlight this time of year through fresh, seasonal ingredients.
