SETSUBUN
Go there and contact
On this occasion, demons are hunted and amulets from the past year are burned. The year begins auspiciously.
Setsubun is the last day before the arrival of spring, and thus of the traditional new year. On this occasion, celebrations take place in the main temples of the country. The celebration of Yoshida Jinja in Kyoto is particularly famous. During Setsubun, in houses or temples, soybeans, called "fortune seeds", are thrown to the cries of : "Demons, outside. Fortune, inside", to chase away the evil before the beginning of the year. Demon dances are also part of the program.
