Hi,

Can anyone tell me when is the exact date of this festival in 2008?
I am interested to visit.

I have tried to search for more info but seemed like the date is not fixed and I am confused. From previous years, some say is in late mar / early Apr / Apr 15??

Or any other info relating to such festival?

From the search....

Another one is the Wooden Penis
Also, I am aware that on the every Mar 15, Tagata Jinja (somewhere in Inuyama, Aichi) has such procession. The date is confirmed. However, I will not be able to make it on that date.
I have been to this shrine before in Sep2005. It's a very quiet town when there isn't any festival.

This was not easy to find!

You can check the official web page of the shrine at : http://www.tomuraya.co.jp/wakamiya-10.htm
In 2004, that festival was on the 4th of April.

Then a search on wikitravel, in Japanese, seems to indicate that it will take place the 6th of April 2008 :
