【本日(2/3)は節分の日です♪】
本日は 節分です。節分とは旧暦の大晦日、いわば年越しです。厄(鬼)を払って福を持って新年を迎えましょうというのが、「鬼は外、福は内」の意味なんだとか(*^^*) ※旧暦では立春が年の始まりとされているそうです。
ささやではありますが、ご宿泊のお客様は 福豆で厄払い、良き年をお迎えください♪
皆様のご来館を心よりお待ち申し上げます。
"Setsubun" literally means "division of seasons"
and this day was the end of winter. On the evening of this day,
people throw roasted soybeans inside and outside their houses
with a cry of "Oniwa-soto, Fukuwa-uchi!"
meaning "Devils out! Good luck in!".
As the beans are thrown, it is believed good luck is invited in
and bad luck is driven out.
It is also customary to eat as many roasted beans as one's age.
It is a kind of charm against ill luck.
