With the legendary Halloween celebrations of Shibuya and Shinjuku now shut down and fading into distant memory, Tokyo’s spookiest night of the year is searching for a new identity. One step away from the former centre of festivities, in the culture hub of Shimokitazawa, the face of that new chapter rises from the underground… ?
SHIMOKITA HALLOWEEN ‘26 will be a mind-melting paranormal party like no other.
This jam-packed lineup features live acts spanning dance music, rock n’ roll, hip-hop, punk rock, freaky electronica and more, as well as DJs ranging from elites of the cutting-edge Shibuya and Roppongi scenes to the ultimate indie disco leaders. All the best of uniquely-Tokyo entertainment is here to create one spooktacular night out.
Held across two neighbouring venues, you’ll be free to go back and forth to find the vibe that suits you.
Summon your friends and don’t miss the most wicked midnight gathering on offer this hallowed eve. This is the Tokyo Halloween you’ve been looking for!
With an advance ticket you can join the pregame party too (7-11pm at Shimokitazawa Retronym), featuring DJs, a makeup booth, and tattoos. Details here.
COSTUMES WELCOME!!!
From the South exit of Shimokitazawa station, walk straight ahead. You'll pass a McDonalds on your left. Follow the street as it veers left and you should pass a Family Mart, Club 251, Club 440, then a 7-11 all on your right. Basement Bar and Three are just past the 7-11, also on the right hand side behind a liquor shop.
