Life in Tokyo #53 A Phallus Festival
Uploaded by: tokyocooney
Video Description:
Don't watch if you have a problem with giant statues of male members being paraded around the streets. They are paraded here in a traditional (but not typical) Japanese festival called the Kanamara matsuri. Held in Kawasaki, this is certainly a unique matsuri in terms of its theme, but the atmosphere was like any other I've been to. Lots of people having fun, eating, drinking and dancing.
If you get past the striking visuals at its core this festival like many others is simply a way for people to pray for health, fertility and happiness.
Special thanks to Tkyosam and TokyoSwan for joining me. Also to RoninDave sorry I didnt have any footage of you in there.
Love you guys in a non gay way.

Now thats a great pick-up line.
dont know if i have the cojones to go there next year, cuz i know i would crack up every time i see these things there ^^
I... i dont know how to feel about this XD Part of me is like "...oh wow....giant penis!"
the other part is like "OH WOW GIANT PENIS" And although i want to laugh its part of their culture... And I saw another one on national geographic about some naked festival where some man has to have all hair shaved (ALL hair) and run around naked in freezing weather and get smacked by other naked men. Good times....Good times..
Hey, this looks fun, that guy looks nice, and the music is kinda good, and every looks like their having a great time...hey whats that pink.- oh my god
