LET’S PENIS! (Kawasaki Japan)

I covered this festival last week in Gods Save the Queens’ Elizabeth!.
While I was at the Kawasaki Penis festival I bumped into several of my drinking buddies there including “Captain Japan.” Today the Captain has a full spread on his website “Sake-Drenched Postcards”: Phallus Fans Flock to Fertility Festival.

   Hi DD!

   The Penis festival occurs in the spring arround late March and April in Kawasaki and Nagoya Japan. The dates vary according to lunar calendar so ALWAYS double-check with the Japan National Tourist Organization for the exact times and dates (I almost missed the event this year because the entire event ends at 1pm).

   It is best to phone the Japan National Tourist office
