Here is not an ordinary Setsubun-kai, people walk around the pagodas of Zen Buddhism and gather the charms of the Seven Deities. There're many people with 'good luck bamboo grass' in their hands at the precinct. The sponsors throw roasted beans (mame-maki) and say 'in with fortune' (huku wa uchi). Let's take in lots of good fortune!

I visited Kifune Shrine to see its snow-covered scenery in the early morning. There're a few people, and I could have this beautiful scene all to my self, which was a gorgeous time. I walked from the station because there're no bus services in the early morning though, the snowy scenery on the way was also beautiful.◎Access: Take Kyoto Bus from Kifuneguchi Station of Eizan Railway to Kifune. Or, 30 min walk (2 km) from Kifuneguchi.
