    (Shibuya) "Shibuya scramble intersection / Center-Gai" where sexy costumes stand out

    Many people think of “Shibuya” when it comes to Halloween. Even though there are no organizers or big events in Shibuya, youths from all over Japan gather here. The number of people tends to increase as the night goes on, so it'll become harder to move through the crowds as time goes on (policemen will be tending to the crowds).

    A lot of young people will be dressed up here, but that doesn't mean you can't join in on the fun. Dress up and head to Shibuya to revel in the chaos!

    ◆ Venue: Around Shibuya Station (Shibuya Scramble Intersection ~ Center Street)
    ◆ Period: None. In 2019, it is expected to rise to 31 (Thu) on the 25th (Friday), 26th (Saturday) and 27th (Sunday).
