Setsubun is a Japanese festival that marks the end of winter and the coming of spring. 

During this tradition, people throw roasted soybeans, called ""fukumame,"" to drive away evil spirits and bring good fortune into their homes. 

Events are held at shrines and temples in Kyoto from January 28th to February 3rd.

We warmly welcome you to come and join the festivities!
