Thanks Natasha. We love anything to do with Japanese culture and history so we'd highly recommend this shrines Setsubun activities.

I love how you start it out. So funny! Your photos that went along with this story were absolutely amazing. I've only been to Kyoto in the summer and winter so never for this festival. I was in Tokyo during this time and don't really remember it, so thanks for teaching me something new about Japan!

I wonder if you even tried on one of those beautiful kimonos? I know they can be rented to walk around town. I would surely not miss the opportunity!

However, after reading your post I do understand. I have had sake a couple of times, which I really enjoyed. I have seen a Geisha performance in the movie Memoirs of Geisha and I found it was really amazing. They are really skilled and I assume a lot of practice is needed. I really enjoyed your account of the celebrations.

Looks like a beautiful celebration.

Enjoyed your post--I would love to be able to tie some of my bad fortunes to a tree or frame!
