A little over a decade ago, Halloween wasn’t much of a thing in Japan. But now, it most certainly is, with Tokyo’s Shibuya becoming a giant Halloween street party. There are also massive parades elsewhere across the country, most notably Kawasaki

Shibuya draws the biggest crowds, it seems. And in Japan, Halloween isn’t just October 31, but people gather and celebrate it over the course of several days, especially during the weekend.
