The Kanamara Matsuri is also known as the Penis Festival! Held every year in early April at Kanayama Shrine just outside Tokyo, this festival focuses on fertility, relationships, and protection from diseases. You can expect giant pink portable shrines, shaped candies, decorations, and a mix of locals and visitors enjoying a fun and lighthearted atmosphere. It might be shocking at first, but it is deeply rooted in Japan’s history and symbolism. Are you going to visit? 🙋‍♀️#kanamaramatsuri #japantravel #visitjapan #japantrip #japanculture
