These days, Halloween in Japan<\/a> is big business and lots of fun. The popularity of Halloween in Tokyo is recent. Some years ago, you would only see limited decorations and a few events mostly instigated by foreign residents, English schools or media outlets. All of that has changed. Halloween decorations are everywhere, and some events with witches, black cats and pumpkins happen as early as mid-September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are traveling in Tokyo during the Halloween weekend \u2013 you can enjoy a fusion-fun-Halloween Japanese style! <\/em><\/strong>Check out these seven ways to have a cute scary-fun-festive Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to Tokyo Disney Resorts<\/strong> for Halloween<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The folks over at Tokyo Disneyland are considered the founders of Japanese Halloween. Disney was the first big name in Japan to have a Halloween-themed parade and costumes for the season. The park is packed at this time of year with kids and adults alike in costume. Disney Sea and Disneyland celebrate until the end of October! Visit by October 31st to see Mickey and friends all dressed up for the spooky season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Strut Your Halloween Costume or People-Watch at Tokyo’s Famous Shibuya Crossing!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Tokyo, Halloween’s main stomping ground has become Shibuya Crossing. In the last week of October until the 31st, massive crowds of costume-wearing locals show off their creativity while hanging out in one of the world’s famous intersections. This year, the police are also limited the car traffic to allow a safer space for scary costumes and people watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Please note that despite the easing of restrictions, <\/em>the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is urging people to refrain from gathering in Shibuya for Halloween 2021.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
