Today we got to experience the bean throwing festival. It's a tradition where you throw beans in order to bring in luck and ward away bad spirits. We were taken to a temple by one of the teachers and we got to be part of the ceremony. First, we sat in the crowed. Beans were thrown into the crowd and catching them represented good luck. Then, we got to be part of the people throwing the beans. We dressed up in Japanese traditional clothing. It was a very interesting experience.
