Tips

Just minutes from Iwatsuki Station on the Tobu Urban Park Line. Most doll shops welcome visitors even just to browse, but during busy periods they may be occupied, so it's best to ask before viewing. The fireworks festival day becomes crowded from evening onward, so it's recommended to enjoy this area during daytime hours.
