Hello everyone, I am Lao Cai, a Shanghai native in Tokyo. Last night, I took my daughter to the Halloween event that I had not missed in Shibuya . Every year at the end of October, Halloween is the most exciting time in Japan, and the most exciting place in Tokyo is undoubtedly Shibuya.
Shibuya Halloween is called "王可ハロ" in previous years. It usually lasts for a few days and reaches its climax on the last night. We also go every year. Last year, the epidemic was lifted once, so this year, after the epidemic basically disappeared and all restrictions in Tokyo were lifted, there were as many people on the street as before.
This year, there are two days this weekend. Since it rains on Sunday, we chose to watch the first event on Saturday night. There will be countless "demons and monsters" appearing on Halloween, and the late night, the more excited you get, but my daughter has to go to bed early, so the following photos of are from 6:00 to 9:00 in the first Halloween game this year. We missed the most exciting second half.
Feelings, there are only so many people
Some people's outfits are very outrageous and cannot be posted. Therefore, all the photos below this article have eliminated the "disharmonious" scenes, and made a pure record, so that everyone who cannot come to participate can feel the general atmosphere. The following photos are taken from Canon R6, lens RF24-105F4, and are simple and post-production from PS. The small aperture is easy to shoot at night and it is easy to get bumpy and run out of focus. I am also an amateur. Please spray it lightly, photography guys.
We wear masks throughout the whole process and wash hands frequently. The following are all real shooting records. Each photo has been watermarked. Welcome to forward and borrow pictures. There are 56 pictures in total, and a simple explanation will be provided in the order of shooting. Let's get started.
Arrival at the starting point of the trip, Shibuya Station Hachikun, when we arrived at about 6 pm last night, there were already a lot of people, but there were not many people wearing disguises.
Tadatoku Hachiko statue is a symbol of Shibuya Station. Because the station is too big, many people usually make appointments here when they make appointments with friends. These days, the whole of Japan has been holding House Members' elections, and Hachiko has also taken advantage of the popularity.
The famous Shibuya intersection site is known as the intersection with the largest traffic in the world. I don’t know if it is the world’s largest, but it is definitely the largest in Japan anyway. When the green light flashes, everyone starts to leave immediately. Many people carry cameras and take videos here. The weird guy in front of the intersection of

came to the stairs on the 109th floor of Shibuya ahead and also gave her daughter a picture. She was dressed up with the beans in the "Ghost Blade". Today, she was dressed up with the beans in the "Ghost Blade". The child's mother advised her for a long time before she was willing to wear it. She felt that wearing it was particularly ashamed to go out. Several passers-by praised her for being cute and wanted to take a photo with her, but she refused. She was too shy.
shot down from the stairs. There are really many people, and now they are waiting for the red light.
When the green light changed, the vast crowd began to walk, and all of them were people.
The intersection in front of Bershka, Central Street, will be back later.
Before Tang Jikode.
There were some police cars next to it that were not photographed. The security was very high, and there were police comrades everywhere holding horns and shouting everyone not to stop when they got up.
walks into the road to Xuanban Road.
The small slope in Xuanban Road is less people. However, on the side of the road, I saw an ordinary and unpretentious Chinese compatriot on his mobile phone broadcasting. I heard him say: I hope to get 2 million fans next year. I am also drunk. Sure enough, traffic is the password for wealth.
Back to Bershka, I saw the dog I saw in the past few years, and I was very happy to see it back this year.
This dog cooperates with its owner and the various poses it is very suitable. Its owner also has a small Tengu mask, which was later put on. This picture should be used as the cover of this article.
A group of passers-by watching the dog, the cute pets are powerless to many people.
Then he walked and met an American dressed as a NASA astronaut. Behind him was a man in a full-body warrior suit, which was so cool.
Walking in front is a couple, very creative, the man is a prisoner, and the woman is a police officer who is uniformed by him.
walked around and returned to Shibuya intersection. It was obvious that there were more people than at the beginning.
Many people came up to take photos with this warrior, and their red looks really eye-catching.
squid game cosplay is also very popular, and it has been very popular on netflix recently.
Looking at the Shibuya Yu-kari building, the two buildings behind were not built when I first came to Japan, and I didn’t understand how Shibuya, where every inch of land was valuable, would have such a large land that could be used to build tall buildings.

I met a few Shanghai fellow villagers who were shopping in Shibuya with me. I looked at the flagship store of Nintendo and Pokémon on the 6th floor of PARCO, and then went to the top floor to take a photo of the Tokyo Tower. A new super-large building is also being built next to Roppongi Hill, which seems to be a key Tokyo engineering project.
continued to circulate and saw the minion motorcycle team.
I saw Didi deliveryman, DiDi Food, dressed up like Mario.

There is also a leopard-print color scheme stuck in the distance. I have to say that it is really rustic. There are several more vehicles in

continued to walk back to Shibuya Chuo Street, and it was incomplete.
Kuang Street Okinawa soba noodle shop.
The street is the most crowded.
Big salmon sushi.
The third time I returned to the intersection in front of Bershka. Compared with just now, there are already many people and cannot be reached. There are dozens of police officers in the middle to make everyone move around.
Looking back at Central Street, my friend’s store is here and I’m making a fortune.
There is no street stall on the roadside, but there is an snack car , which sells small cakes.
On the road, you can see anyone going up to ask for a photo.

Yamanote Line Hachikong exit.
Go to the entrance of the Sub-Tuxin Line. There are more than ten trams in Shibuya Station, and the entrances of different trams are different.
Sure enough, when we went back, a group of old men had just arrived at the battlefield. Although they were taken a fool, this photo was really too eye-catching. The most exciting thing about Halloween is these foreigners, after all, it is a "foreign festival".
Miyaxia Park has been transformed into a large shopping mall, but we didn’t have the chance to go today and we can no longer walk.
One last look, see you next Halloween.
or above are all my records yesterday. Many friends who just landed in Japan last year decided to go and feel the excitement yesterday after seeing the scene of such a good time yesterday. However, it rains today, please be careful when you go.
