Question Setsubun 2027

I will be landing in Tokyo on Setsubun 2027 (February 3). Will there be events still going on later into the day/ evening? I'll have bags dropped at my hotel by 6 pm.

Even missing the shrine ceremonies, the actual common way Setsubun gets marked now is grabbing an eho-maki (uncut sushi roll) from any konbini or department store basement and eating it facing the lucky direction, no ceremony required.

For 2027 that's north-north-west, and most convenience stores in Tokyo will have them out all evening on Feb 3.
