Halloween is a little poopy at the Tokyo and Nagoya Unko (Poo) Museums this year.

The Unko Museum dedicated to all things No. 2, including poo emoji-themed exhibits and funny photo spots with toilets, is skid marking into the season with “Max Unko Halloween 2025” through Nov. 3.

Try your hand at “Hop Step Jampoo” and “poo shout” games and check out dozens of poo paintings by celebrities, too.

In the center of the museum, a colorful giant poo volcano, decorated as a

jack-o’-lantern with hundreds of pumpkins and candies, sits in the middle of a pit filled with rubber poo. When the volcano shakes and changes from cold blue to angry red, it erupts and spews lots of tiny foam poos and candies from its top.

Various Halloween-themed souvenirs, such as poo monsters, poo stickers and poo keyholders, are also available during the period.

Don’t shy away from celebrating a s”poo”ky, happy Halloween!
