<\/p>\n2We have a new year in 2022. This time, I will introduce the Setsubun Festival in Kyoto so that one year is a good year.<\/p>\n
What kind of day is Setsubun in the first place?<\/p>\n
In the lunar calendar, it was said that the New Year starts from spring. In other words, spring is the beginning of the year, but the day before
\nIt seems to be Setsubun. In the lunar calendar, it is New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n
As a result, Setsubun is not necessarily February 3.
\nBy the way, last year (2021) was February 2nd.
\nIt seems to be the first day in 36 years that it became a day other than February 3.
\nTherefore, many people think that Setsubun is February 3.<\/p>\n
In Kyoto, many temples and shrines hold Setsubun Festivals on Setsubun Day. So this time, I will introduce “Yomomairi”.<\/p>\n
There are four shrines in Kyoto that protect the demon gate on all sides, mainly the Imperial Palace.
\nIt is said that visiting the four companies is called “Yomomairi”.<\/p>\n
On the night of Setsubun, evil (demon) first appears at “Yoshida Shrine” which is the Omotekimon gate in the northeast, is chased from Yoshida Shrine, then escapes to “Yasaka Shrine” in the southeast, “Mibu Temple” in the southwest, and finally “Kitano Tenmangu Shrine” in the northwest, and it seems to be confined in Fukube shrine of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.<\/p>\n
Why don’t you roll beans, eat delicious Ehomaki, and get rid of evil with “Yomomairi”?<\/p>\n
\u3000It was founded in the Heian-kyo period (859) as the guardian deity of Heiankyo.
\nThis year, it is held for three days, including the Setsubun Eve Festival, the Setsubun Day Festival, and the Setsubun Later Day Festival, across February 3rd in Setsubun. The Setsubun Festival, which has been held since the Muromachi period, is a major event that attracts 500,000 people every year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Time of visit: Please check the official website for the time of worship during the Setsubun Festival. \u3000It is an old shrine that has been enshrined since before the relocation of Heian-Kyo (794), and it is known as “Gion-san”. Time of visit: 24 hours possible, the shrine office 9:00-17:00 (please check the Setsubun Festival official website) Mibudera Temple was founded in 991. The Setsubun meeting will be held for three days from February 2 to February 4. Mibu Kyogen “Setsubun” will be released on February 2 and 3.<\/p>\n Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \u3000It is said that it started when Michizane Sugawara was enshrined in the middle of the Heian period (947).
