亮点

  • Special bean-throwing ceremonies at 11:00, 13:30 and 16:00
  • Sumo wrestlers and NHK Taiga-drama stars as 'lucky men'
  • The unusual single chant of 'Fuku wa uchi' (fortune in) only

由来与背景

Held to pray for national peace and good fortune; because demons reform before the principal image Fudo Myo-o, only 'fortune in' is chanted, never 'demons out'.
