The Penis Festival – Yes, There is One of Those
 |

Hundreds of thousands come together for the world’s largest penis festival. For bizarre celebrations Japan’s ‘Steel Phallus’ festival is hard to beat. Revelers from around the world descended on Kawasaki, Japan to take part in the annual Kanamara Matsuri festival – a Shinto fertility festival held in spring.
The event brings in people from around the globe including hundreds of Westerners trying to conceive. Transvestites, homosexuals and curious couples also show up for the parade through the streets.
The penis forms the central theme of the event and is seen in trinkets for sale including illustrations, candy, carved vegetables and decorations. The Shinto shrine at the centre of the event was once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
The celebrations are now used to raise money for HIV research.
