Halloween in Japan
Halloween in Japan holds a unique allure driven by two primary factors: corporate interests and costumes. Many enthusiasts of “cosplay” (costume play) find dressing up to be highly entertaining, and this mindset is particularly prevalent in places like Harajuku and among the otaku (geek) community.
Considering this, it’s evident that Halloween celebrations in Japan primarily cater to adults who enjoy dressing up in elaborate costumes. Costume parties and events during this time become venues where people can not only showcase their creative outfits but also indulge in the festivities, often involving alcohol and other forms of entertainment, making it a notable and vibrant occasion on the Japanese calendar.
