While many celebrate the “new year” of setsubun by throwing beans, the staff of Gojōten Shrine in Ueno Park ward off evil with a ritual from the Heian period that uses leaves from chrysanthemum flowers.
You need to pre-register to join in the festivities. Please contact the shrine directly.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
