Halloween in Japan

Halloween (ハロウィーン), a festival of Anglo-Saxon origin, has also spread to Japan since a few decades ago. It would seem that it was the Disneyland park in Tokyo that introduced Halloween to the Japanese for the first time, organizing a first themed event in the year 2000. Since then, year after year, Halloween has become increasingly popular, particularly among the younger generations. However, the celebration of Halloween in Japan has taken on particular characteristics compared to other countries where it is celebrated. In the rest of the article we will find out how the Japanese celebrate Halloween and the most famous Halloween parades where to have fun if you are in Japan at the end of October.

What to do on Halloween in Japan

Themed parades

In and around Tokyo, some costume parades have been held for many years. These are not held on October 31st as one might think, but one or more days before, therefore it is always necessary to inquire about dates and times from year to year.

Several theme parks in the country organize Halloween themed days in the last days of October. The most famous American theme parks in the country are particularly popular during this period: Disneyland in Tokyo and Universal Studios in Osaka.

Guided tours, activities and other things to do

If you are planning a trip to Japan and you want to do something more than just visiting famous places and monuments, we suggest you to use Rakuten Travel Experiences.

How to use Rakuten Travel Experiences

Rakuten Travel is a very useful website to enrich your travel experience, especially if you are going solo or it's your first time in Japan.
Because of the language barrier (and more), in Japan it is very difficult to interact with the locals and to get off the tourist track.
Thanks to Rakuten Travel you can find a lot of interesting and sometimes unique guided tours and activities all over Japan (and not only in Japan), that you would otherwise never be able to enjoy.
But there's more: on Rakuten Travel you can also buy tickets for several famous attractions, events, transportation and other useful services for tourists. Last but not least, you can reserve a table in hundreds of restaurants.
