Setsubun is a traditional Japanese festival marking the beginning of spring, celebrated by throwing beans to drive away evil spirits.
During Setsubun, people participate in mame-maki, where they throw roasted beans to drive away evil spirits.
During Setsubun, people shout ‘Oni wa soto!’ which means ‘Demons out!’ as they throw beans to drive away evil spirits.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful family from England. It was heartwarming to see them all together. The 2-year-old girl was full of energy and absolutely loved the door! She peeked through it with a big smile, having so much fun playing with the owner. The 6-year-old boy was a kind older brother, enjoying shuriken throwing with his dad while looking out for his little sister. The mom had a great time painting Daruma dolls, and it made me so happy to see everyone spending such a meaningful time together.

Thank you for visiting AriHana Kyoto! 😊
