That is something isn't it? I read an article about that years ago, I got the impression that there were several events of that kind held. I found this article about another one, about 160 miles away according to Google Earth:

Why they worship the penis in Japan | The FRANCE 24 Observers

Just about everywhere else people freak out at the sight of a penis. Here they celebrate it. Oh to be fluent in Japanese and take that one in, eh?

A festival where you can let it all hang out. You'd be hard pressed to find limp noodle anywhere in sight.

This happens every couple of years. It started when the English made fun of them for their inability to pronounce the word election properly.
