What's Going On Nagoya? February 25

DJs in an indoor garden, a 600-pound Shinto phallus, your AI agents going rogue, and 25 years of HOPE.

Party Among the Plants

A glass-roofed atrium, house music at conversation volume, and seven DJs for ¥2,000. The fifth edition of Nagoya Lounge Party returns to Flarie's Crystal Court this Saturday. You can smell the soil. You are, technically, still in central Nagoya. Doug's going.

Japan's Penis Festival

March 15 at Tagata Shrine in Komaki — a 1,500-year-old Shinto fertility ritual featuring a 600-pound hand-carved wooden phallus, free sake, and elderly Japanese visitors more surprised by the foreigners than the phallic lollipops. About 30 minutes from central Nagoya.
