The Bean Throwing Festival (also known as Mamemaki or Setsubun) is an event in the Japanese version of, , and that occurs on the third of February every year to celebrate the ending of Winter and the beginning of Spring. During the festival, Villagers will be carrying throwing beans throughout the day.

In, Tortimer can be found near the Wishing Well between 10 AM and 6 PM. When spoken to, he will give the player a Bean Set.

In, this celebration appears in Japanese versions only. On Bean Day, players can see Tortimer who stands outside the Town Hall. He will then give the player either a Blue Ogre Mask or a Red Ogre Mask.

In, the player will find Isabelle in the Event Plaza. When spoken to, she will explain to them about the holiday and give them either a Red or Blue Oni Mask. If the player talks to villagers while wearing the Oni mask, they will perform a shocked emotion and start throwing beans at the player, referring to the Japanese tradition of throwing beans at Oni to bring good luck.


 * The throwing beans that the character can receive are used in a glitch, which has been patched as of the update.

During the day, instead of selling Fortune Cookies, Timmy and Tommy's store will be selling Eho-maki, a type of sushi, for 800 Bells. When purchased, Timmy and Tommy will tell the player to eat the Eho-maki while facing a specific direction in order to obtain good luck.
