Few in Halloween costumes on Tokyo streets
Halloween revelers in costume were few and far between in central Tokyo this year after local officials asked people to refrain from celebrating because of the coronavirus.
In recent years, huge crowds of young people and foreigners dressed in costume have gathered in Shibuya, Roppongi and other busy districts on Halloween night.
The streets of Shibuya on Saturday were as busy as usual, but few people were in costume.
A public relations unit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, known as the “DJ Police,” was on hand to regulate the flow of people. Officers called out to pedestrians at the scramble crossing in front of Shibuya Station not to pause inside the crossing.
Shibuya (渋谷) is one of the twenty-three city wards of Tokyo, but often refers to just the popular shopping and entertainment area found around Shibuya Station. In this regard, Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most colorful and busy districts, packed with shopping, dining and nightclubs serving swarms of visitors that come to the district everyday.
Shibuya is a center for youth fashion and culture, and its streets are the birthplace to many of Japan’s fashion and entertainment trends. Over a dozen major department store branches can be found around the area catering to all types of shoppers. Most of the area’s large department and fashion stores belong to either Tokyu or Seibu, two competing corporations.
