On February 1, the eve of Setsubun in 2025, a Shinto ritual called "Tsuina-shiki Ceremony," popularly known as Oniyarai, was held at Yoshida Shrine in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, which is considered the "front demon gate" of Kyoto. In the pouring cold rain, three demons, symbols of disaster, were driven away and prayers were made for happiness and peace for the people.
