Celebrating Setsubun, the shrine hosts vibrant bean-throwing ceremonies at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. In a unique tradition, visitors can acquire fortune beans in a decorative box for \u00a5800. These special beans, interspersed with colored ones, can be exchanged for auspicious items. A highlight of the festivities includes a lighthearted ritual where participants, tapped on the backside with a bamboo &#8216;soul stick&#8217; by a demon from the mountains, are blessed with a promise of health and well-being for the entire year.<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-iimori-shrine_2024_cl-001.jpg?resize=1400%2C997&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Iimori shrine -
