Happy Halloween from Japan!
Happy Halloween, Japanese style!
Allow me to skip backwards (since we are no longer in Japan) and forwards (since I still have another post planned for South Korea) in time to wish you Happy Halloween. Someone in Japan told us that Halloween is mostly a Western holiday not celebrated by the Japanese, but judging by the Halloween sights on the streets, I don’t think that’s true. Plus it makes sense that the Japanese would love Halloween; they certainly have a sweet tooth, and the day we spotted the costumes below was in the same neighborhood as where the Japanese teenagers dress up in cos-play all year long.
Hope you have a great Halloween; eat extra candy for me!

Also spotted on Takeshita Dori! (Along with his friend, above).
Merry Christmas! Oh wait, wrong holiday. Spotted in Tokyo's wholesale district, in October. Unfortunately jumping the gun on Christmas must be an international problem.
Happy Halloween, Amy & Sean!! I love the kitty cat pictures. I bet Fabulous is going to be in for an adventure next year!
LOVE these pictures! So cute! Had a wonderful Halloween wknd, hope you guys did too. Except the Steelers lost…Boo!
Although I am quite the crazy cat lady, I am not crazy enough to dress up my cat (not counting that one time where he was subjected to wear a purple shirt with “born fabulous” bedazzled on it) and take him out onto city streets!
Good thing you mentioned that….I have pictures. ๐
