Metropolis’ Tokyo Halloween FAQs
Avoid costumes involving realistic weapons or anything that could be mistaken for a real emergency (fake blood is fine, but leave prop firearms at home, as they can draw police attention).
Don Quijote (Donki) stores across Tokyo stock large costume sections from late September through October, and are a reliable one-stop shop for wigs, makeup, and accessories.
Shibuya, Ikebukuro, and Shinjuku branches tend to have the widest selection. Costume rental shops and specialty stores in Harajuku and Akihabara are also worth checking for higher-quality or cosplay-style outfits.
Not literally, you can’t be banned from walking around in costume, but ward officials have actively discouraged people from gathering at Shibuya Station for Halloween in recent years, citing safety concerns after the 2022 Itaewon crowd crush in Seoul. If you want the classic Shibuya energy without the crush, consider ticketed rooftop or club events nearby instead of the street itself.
No. Shibuya enforces a year-round ban on street drinking in the area around Shibuya Station, including Center-gai, and this is strictly enforced with extra patrols during Halloween.
Shinjuku also imposes a temporary public drinking ban over the Halloween period.
Convenience stores in these areas are often asked to pause alcohol sales during peak hours.
Save the drinking for inside bars, izakayas, or ticketed events.
Roads around Shibuya Crossing and Hachiko Square are often partially closed to vehicle traffic on Halloween night as pedestrian volume spikes, and police may direct foot traffic into one-way flows.
Trains get packed fastest between 8 pm and midnight, so if you’re heading into Shibuya, Ikebukuro, or Shinjuku, expect station staff managing entry queues at peak times.
Taxis are harder to flag in these areas that night, so it’s worth pre-booking a ride-hailing app car if you’re not taking the train home.
