Located near the river in Uwajima City, Ehime, Taga Shrine is small and quite particular. Indeed locals come and pray at the shrine not only for longevity and good health but in particular, fertility. The shrine is famous among foreign tourist for its many phallic ornaments, including a two-meter-long wooden phallus displayed alongside the main shrine building. If this was not enough, the shrine also features a unique museum showcasing a collection of both international and domestic pornographic materials including illustration, manuals, and objects.
Also please note that minors below 20 years old are forbidden to visit said museum. Many explicit fertility objects were quite common at shrines all across Japan in the past until the Meiji Period (1868-1912) when puritanical values from the West led to their removal.
