Since the 2010s, Shibuya has been the center of Tokyo’s Halloween culture and enjoys a prestigious reputation this The streets are full of parties – packed with cheerful, costumed people looking for a good time.

But as Halloween chaos escalates, Shibuya Ward has been cracking down on the festivities. Government enforcement initiative The bill, introduced in 2019 and becoming more stringent every year, is aimed at cracking down on violence, vandalism, littering and other reported disturbances in the area.

This year, the ward is participating in a project called “Nishiki Shida! Ming Chung Halloween“(Stop Troublesome Halloween). To regulate traffic and crowd control, 125 security guards and 90 ward staff will be dispatched. Luup rental scooters and electric bicycles will not be rented or returned between 17:00 on October 30 and 5:00 on November 1.

Shibuya also enacted a year-round ordinance last year banning drinking on streets, parks and around Shibuya Station at night between 18:00 and 5:00 to prevent drunken nuisances.

But the ban on Shibuya’s antics doesn’t mean the end of Halloween. Whether you’re looking to escape the crowds for a less overwhelming dress-up experience, find other parties, want to sample seasonal treats, or are looking for less spooky family-friendly activities, there are plenty of options for every ghoul preference.
