Bean Festival

Japan has many unique events. In February, we have a Bean Festival.
It's held on February 3rd, the last day of winter. It's still super cold, but it is considered as the last day of winter on the calendar. It's held to pray for our happy and healthy life.

On the day, we eat special sushi rolls and throw beans.
Also we eat beans as numbers as our age.

When we throw beans, we scream "Oniwa soto! Fukuwa uchi!"
That means, bad luck out, good luck in!!
That's really fun!!
