Setsubun in Kyoto Feb 3 recommendations 2016/1/20 10:22
Hello!

I am trying to plan which places to see in Kyoto in the evening of the 2nd, and all day on the 3rd.

This link lists quite a few options, from last year:-
http://www.kyotoguide.com/ver2/event/event%20archive2-.htm

Are there any in particular that I should try and attend? What are the crowds like? Do you have to arrive early to get a reasonable view of some?

The event at Yasaka Shrine looks good, with the Geiko/Maiko throwing beans.

The lighting of the bon fire at Yoshida Shrine also looks interesting, and the food stalls and Karo-sai festival from 23:00 sound great too.

Any better resources in English for details on what happens on the day at each place?

Thank you!
