There's one near Nagoya at Tagata Shrine. On March 15th they have a fertility festival and parade a huge phallus around for the awe and amusement of the crowds.

There is apparently a shrine, but you are probably thinking of the festival called Kanamara Matsuri (Festival of the Steel Phallus) From wikipedia:
The Kanamara Matsuri (ããªã¾ãç¥), also called Festival of the Steel Phallus, is an annual Shinto fertility festival held in Kawasaki, Japan in spring. The exact dates vary, but the main festivities fall on a Sunday. The penis forms the central theme of the event that's reflected everywhere; in illustrations, candy, carved vegetables, decoration, a parade of mikoshis, etc., etc.
The Kanamara Matsuri is centered around a local penis-venerating shrine, once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Today, the festival is used to raise money for HIV research. There's also a legend of a demon that hid inside a young girl and castrated two young men on their wedding nights before a blacksmith fashioned an iron phallus that was used to break the demon's teeth, leading to the enshrinement of the item.

Are you referring to Awashima? I think they have a temple there for wooden dicks or something.
