Tokyo’s Best Halloween Parties 2023

As Halloween approaches, one thing is certain in Japan: the resurgence of grand Tokyo Halloween parties in 2023. And, speaking for ourselves, we can’t help but admit how much we are excited for Tokyo’s incredible and vibrant Halloween parties.

Over the years, Tokyo has experienced a remarkable surge in Halloween’s popularity. You can now find Halloween candy in most grocery stores, while department stores adorn their premises with jack-o-lanterns. Families have also embraced the holiday from the comfort of their homes, now commonly referred to as “HaroPa ハロパ.”

Yet even more renowned are the enormously popular Halloween street parties that, for better or worse, have consistently captured international media attention year after year. This year the Shibuya government is encouraging revelers to not party on the street, so for those looking to party this Halloween in Tokyo, the nightclubs will be your best option.

Six Tokyo Halloween

To help our fellow Tokyo Night Owls, we have put together a list of the Best Halloween Parties of 2023. Before heading out, here are some useful Tokyo Night Owl tips:

  1. Nightclubs have ghoulishly long lines. To avoid this, we recommend arriving at the club no later than 11 pm.
  2. Buy your costume beforehand. You don’t want to be stuck wearing a Pikachu snuggie. The Mega Donkey Hotte in Shibuya and Roppongi have a wide selection of Halloween costumes. Also, Amazon.jp has dozens of options with next day shipping. Be warned though, Halloween costumes in Japan are typically overpriced.
  3. Pre-funk. Lines at the bar on Halloween can be hellish. Get the party started with some conbini 9% chu his or a canned hi-ball. Note that Shibuya’s convenience stores will not sell alcohol.
  4. Avoid the Roppongi dumps. There are loads of small bars masquerading as nightclubs in Roppongi. And during Halloween, with the long lines for the hot nightclubs, you may be inclined to hit these places up. Don’t! They will be packed, sleazy, and possibly dangerous.
  5. Arrived dressed up and ready to party. It may seem odd to wear a costume on a train, but in Tokyo, its commonplace during Halloween. Nothing worse than having to find a corner or bathroom in Shibuya where you can get into costume.

Bonus tip for the fellas: Skip the scary or bloody makeup, and stick to cute costumes. Japanese girls will be more inclined to chat up a handsome Mario than a decomposing zombie.
