The Setsubun festival at Senso-ji Temple in the Edo period was characterized by the production of 10,000 paper-cut amulets with the words “Setsubun Hannya Shinkyo Nichijo” written on them. It was an event where people hung a shelf and fanned it with a large fan that had Setsubun written on it.Today, volunteers from the general believers become Toshiotoko, and after the memorial service is over, they throw beans on the stage outside the corridor on the east side of the main hall.

From 2:30 pm, the Seven Lucky Gods dance will be performed, and from 4:00 pm, cultural entertainers will throw beans four times every 20 minutes.
The geisha from the Tokyo Asakusa Association will participate in the final round.
