What is Halloween like in Japan?
The Halloween event started in Japan about 20 years ago. Considering that Christmas has been known since around 1900, it is quite recent.
In Japan, the image of Halloween is all about costumes. There is no tradition of holding parties at home, but rather cosplay events, parades, and costume parties are held at some venue.
There is no “trick-or-treating” where you go around the neighborhood and receive candy. However, there may be gifts such as candy handed out to children at the store.
Even in Japan, there is a strong association between “Halloween” and “pumpkin,” but pumpkins are only used as decorations, and there is no custom of eating pumpkins on Halloween. If anything, I often enjoy cooking with creative ideas, like Kyara-ben.

In addition, theme parks such as Disneyland Japan and Universal Studios Japan will sell original goods and food as part of their Halloween events, and the park will be decorated in a Halloween style.

Universal Studios Japan in particular has been focusing on Halloween events for several years, and at night, full-fledged zombies roam the park.

Next, let’s talk about the main thing about Halloween in Japan. I would like to introduce you to cosplay.
What is cosplay event?
“Cosplay” refers to the act of wearing the costumes of characters from anime or manga. Events to enjoy photography and socializing are also held throughout Japan throughout the year. Japan has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, so it’s beautiful how the same cosplay can look different in each season.
Usually, cosplay involves anime characters, but for Halloween, ghosts such as witches and zombies are also popular. Children especially often wear costumes such as witches.
Now, let’s introduce various Japanese Halloween cosplays!
