Nagoya-City Narita-san Mampukuin Temple Setsubun Bean Throwing Ceremony
Date : 02/03/2024
Narita-san Mampukuin Temple is located in central Nagoya, and considered to be in one of the lucky locations of Japanese superstition, it is visited by many during its mame-maki, or bean throwing, festival during the Setsubun holiday.
At the main hall, you can undergo a blessing for a lucky year before receiving beans you will throw all around yelling "Fuku wa uchi! (Come, good fortune!)", cleansing any ill fortune from yourself. The event acts as a means to gain health in the new year.
Each year, celebrity guests are invited to take part in the bean throwing.
