About the event
Have you seen all the beans and silly, red masks in the stores lately? Those are the essential items you need to celebrate the upcoming Japanese festival of Setsubun! Throwing the beans at the demon and shouting "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi" (Demons out, good fortune in) is fun for the whole family!
There are many Setsubun festivals happening around the region this year, but a big event will be held at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (main shine) in Kamakura on Sunday, February 2. We'll meet up outside the East exit of Kamakura Station at 12:00 and walk to the shrine. The event actually starts at 1:00 but we were told that it will be very busy.
You don't need the mask to participate, but feel free to pick up beans to bring with you at any local store, and OSAY will have some to hand out in case!
