On Setsubun day, the shrine welcomes visitors for general rituals aimed at averting misfortune, with a nominal initial offering of \u00a55,000. After these prayers, attendees are given a unique chance to ascend the stage and partake in the vibrant bean-throwing tradition. An additional charming feature of the event is the opportunity to encounter and snap memorable photos with the &#8216;demons&#8217; meandering throughout the shrine&#8217;s precincts.<br \/>\nFukuoka Setsubun Guide 2024 >> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/setsubun-guide\/\">https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/setsubun-guide\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Setsubun Festival at Momiji Hachimangu Shrine, \u7d05\u8449\u516b\u5e61\u5bae \u7bc0\u5206\u5384\u3088\u3051\u5927\u796d\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-002.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2\/3 (Sat.)<br \/>\n\u2022 Prayer for warding off bad luck: 10:00~16:30 (every 30 minutes, registration: 10 minutes before each session)<br \/>\n\u2022 Mamemaki (bean throwing): 11:00~, 12:00~, 15:00~, 16:00~<br \/>\n\u2022 Momiji Hachimangu Shrine<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/LZQnX6Q61vUymvd27\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1-26-55 Takatori, Sawara-ku, Fukuoka<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/momijihachimangu.or.jp\/202401111944\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/momijihachimangu.or.jp\/202401111944\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=1050%2C1400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Setsubun Festival at Momiji Hachimangu Shrine, \u7d05\u8449\u516b\u5e61\u5bae \u7bc0\u5206\u5384\u3088\u3051\u5927\u796d\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-001.jpeg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fn_setsubun-festival-at-momijihachimangu_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Momiji Hachimangu, a sanctuary revered for its deities of safe childbirth and exorcism, historically played a pivotal role in conducting prayers during the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30040,"featured_media":159453,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-159477","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-sawara-ku","event-type-festival","en-US"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/159477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30040"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159477"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
