Setsubun-sai
(Festival of the Day before the Beginning of Spring)
![#](/app/upload/images/tokyodaijingu_setsubun.jpg)
This shrine was built to enable people in Tokyo to worship the deities enshrined in the Grand Shrine of Ise from afar.
And It's called "O-Ise-sama in Tokyo".
Many people visit here, because it's famous for having deities for matchmaking.
In Setsubun-sai "Mamemaki" is held by men and women wearing samurai costume who were born in a year with the same sign of the Chinese zodiac as the current year, and precinct of the shrine is crowded with many people.
*Mamemaki is Japanese traditional event to pray for our
happy and healthy life by throwing beans.
