Setsubun festival at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple on February 3, 2016, in Chiba, Japan. Setsubun is an annual Japanese festival celebrated on February 3rd and marks the day before the beginning of Spring. Celebrations involve throwing soybeans (known as mamemaki) out of the house to protect against evil spirits and into the house to invite good fortune. In many Japanese families one member will wear an ogre mask whilst others throw beans at him or her. The celebration at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is one of the biggest in Japan and organizers this year expect over 50,000 people to attend the event. Each year famous sumo wrestlers and actors are also invited to participate in throwing the beans. (Video by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/Nippon News)

From AC 951, it has been enshrined at Busho Toshima-gun Hitotsugimura. So it has more than a thousand year history.Over 100 years later from enshrinement, there was a drought in Kanto region. People prayed for rain and the prayer was answered. Afterwards, similar rituals have been held for the prevention of plagues or disasters at the shrine.
In the Edo period, when Yoshimune TOKUGAWA, the 8th seii tai shogun succeeded the shogunate in 1716, he commanded a member of the shogun's council of elders, Tadayuki MIZUNO to construct the current shrine building at the shrine’s current site in 1729. One year later, at 26 April 1730, the sacred symbol has been installed in the shrine building and at 28 April, the shogun visited the shrine directly.
Since then to Ieshige TOKUGAWA, the 14th seii tai shogun, the sealed letters from successive Shoguns (cultural properties designated by Minato Ward) have been issued to the shrine.
