In Jikkendana, a girl's doll market would be held before the Spring Hina Matsuri (doll festival), and a boy's doll market would be held before Tango no Sekku (children's day) in early summer. Jikkendana was therefore full of people during these times. In "Guide to Famous Spots of Edo", it is written that there were also doll markets in Owari-chō, Asakusa, Ikenohata, Kōji-machi and Komagome, but they were no match with Jikkendana. Jikkendana was located on both sides of what is now Chuō-dōri around Muromachi 3 chōme, Nihonbashi.
