Tokyo Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October<\/strong>, and the best of it is not in Shibuya. The ward has budgeted about \u00a574 million for asking people not to party in the streets. Meanwhile Ikebukuro’s cosplay festival covers Halloween itself for the first time in five years, Tokyo Disney Resort has full-costume days until 31 October, and a free Kuromi pop-up opens in a whole building in Shibuya on Monday 19 October.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is Shibuya Halloween happening in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No. There is no official Shibuya Halloween event, and the ward wants you to celebrate somewhere else. Mayor Ken Hasebe announced the 2026 measures on 30 September under the slogan “Goodbye Bad Halloween”. The ward isn’t banning costumes. It’s banning the street party that grew up around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what is confirmed for 2026, per Shibuya Keizai Shimbun’s report of the ward briefing<\/a>, NHK<\/a> and Tokyo Weekender<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
