Wooden Toy Store HANA (木のおもちゃハナ)

Wooden Toy Store HANA is a wooden toy store in Miyoshi City. The store is lined with natural-colored wooden shelves, where you can find not only standard wooden blocks and wooden horses, but also miniature xylophones, rattles, and other wooden toys that can be played with by children as young as 0 years old. Most of the products sold at the store are made of wood made in Japan, and many small items such as wooden straps and photo frames are available as souvenirs.

Moment of Joy

The most popular items at HANA are the wooden dolls made of only the finest wood from Japan. In Japan, when a child is born, it is customary to give a “Hina doll” to a girl and a “May doll” to a boy to pray for the healthy growth of the child. HANA sells fashionable wooden Hina dolls and May dolls dyed in traditional Japanese colors, and they are among the most popular items bought by many people every year.
