kanamara festival

known as the "penis fest".... it's actually a
fertility festival where a giant penis is
carried down the street...complete with
japanese drag queens

hanami

a little too much to drink during "hanami"
"hanami" in japan is when the cherry blossoms
come into bloom and the whole country
picnics outside under the trees....alcohol
usually flows freely and often
