Halloween in Tokyo

tokyo-halloween
Halloween in Shibuya is pretty wild. As usual, the standard ‘nurse’ and ‘police officer’ sexy costumes were the number one choice amongst J-girls. Lots of guys were cartoon characters or video game heroes like Super Mario or Donkey Kong.

It’s cool just hanging out on the streets and talking with random people. Funny how costumes make people feel more at ease to chop it up with a stranger.

For the most part Japanese costumes are usually sexy and fun while the majority of foreigner costumes are scary and gory.

Not all Japanese enjoy Halloween or anything involving foreigners for that matter. Apparently there was an anti-foreigner protest on the same night in Shinjuku just a couple train stops away. I heard from some people who were there that it wasn’t a huge ordeal, however the posting online makes it seem as if it was.

Let’s not let those idiots spoil all of the fun though!

Check out more photos of Japan taken this summer on Shonan Beach.

  1. Sexy is right! I had an idea but didn’t know Tokyo would be that kind of party. I’m going in December. I hope xmas season will be as festive.

  3. Got this page’s reference from Twitter and I thoroughly enjoyed the pics, the gory ones do look hair raising scary, others cool. Just wanted to say thanks. Cool share!

    • Benoy,

  4. You didn’t include the idiot American trouble makers. As an American it sucks when other Americans decide to create a scene, climb a light pole and chant “USA!” Can we revoke some passports?

  5. Hey, that picture of the zombie with the backpack is me!!
    Thanks, I didn’t actually have a memory card in my camera at the time so I’m glad to have such a good picture of that night. You wouldn’t believe how many people thought that was real blood, haha!

  6. Ahh… Halloween… no matter where in the world its celebrated its always the same. ’tis the only time of the year where chicks think dressing like a whore is ‘cute’… Seriously ladies, dress like that more often on other days of the year. We still think its cute… honest! :P

  7. Wow that must have been a great scene with all the costumes in a crowded street. I never seen anything like that in my country. I definitely go to Shibuya sometime. Keep posting the great scenes of Japan.

  10. Wonderful and fun pictures of your Halloween! I didn’t realize it is celebrated with such passion in Japan. The girls are all so pretty. No wonder you were out with your camera!! Were you dressed up and what was your costume?
