Some of the bags of beans have lucky tickets attached to them which you can exchange for prizes. \n15:30 Shinto Ceremony\n16:00 Ritual Archery\nIn 2023 there will be no throwing of beans and pressies from the tower. They will handed out in an orderly fashion. \nRead more about Setsubun in Hiroshima hereĀ and see photos from the Gokoku-jinja Shrine event here.
