At Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine (Tsukuda 1), the event was held from 15:00 after the festival of the festival.

Setsubun means that the day before the beginning of spring, summer, fall, and winter, at the turn of the season, bean-throwing ceremony is one of the Shinto ritual rituals of disaster relief.

Generally speaking, Setsubun is the day before the spring, when it moves from the winter festival to the spring festival. As the beginning of the year, it is said that Setsubun gradually began to refer to the spring Setsubun.

When it comes to the stage where beans and sweets are scattered from Kagura Hall, the children gathered together reached out all at once to get "Fuku", and shouted "Here, here" and "Oh, I'm sorry", and the hall was filled with the enthusiasm of many children.
