The first Yurihonjō Hinakaidō event, in 2008, was largely based around the [[Yashima]] area, which already had its own small-scale Hina doll display custom. In 2009, the Hina Doll tour of Yurihonjō tried to encompass the different areas of the newly-merged city with over 50 different locations divided into four main areas: Iwaki in the north; Ouchi and Honjō in the centre; and Yashima in the south. There were various other 'side' events including a special {{nihongo|Ohinakko|おひなっこ列車}} train service taking visitors to the Yashima hina doll exhibitiion sites on the {{nihongo|Yurikōgen Railway|由利高原鉄道}}.
The event in 2010 was extended further with additional displays at new locations and houses. Tour companies in Sendai offer package tours, such as the national train operator [[JR East]]<ref name="JREast">{{cite web |url=http://www.jreast.co.jp/akita/view/akita-aomori/panf/hina/index.html#page=1|title=Hina Kaido Tour}}</ref>. It has also received coverage in the media such as a feature article in the [[Sakigake]]<ref name="Sakigake">{{cite web |url=http://www.sakigake.jp/p/akita/news.jsp?kc=20100303j|title=Sakigake Newspaper feature}}</ref> newspaper. A dedicated blog was also set up by Akita Prefecture to promote the event
