Hello everyone, I am a Shanghainese lao Cai from Tokyo, and last night I took my daughter to Shibuya's long-lost Halloween event. Halloween at the end of October is the most popular time in Japan, and the most popular place in the whole of Tokyo is undoubtedly Shibuya.
Shibuya Halloween is called "渋ハロ", which usually lasts for a few days in previous years, reaching a climax on the last night, and we also go every year. Last year, because the epidemic was canceled once, this year, after the epidemic basically dissipated and all restrictions were lifted throughout Tokyo, there were as many people on the streets as before.
This year there were only two days this weekend, and since it rained on Sunday, we chose To see the first one on Saturday night. On Halloween, there will be countless "demons" appearing, and the more late at night, the more hilarious, but the daughter has to go to bed early, so the following photos are from the first Halloween this year from 6 to 9 o'clock, the most hilarious second half we missed.
Feel it, just so many people
Some people's outfits are very outrageous and can't be sent up, so all the photos below in this article have eliminated the "discordant" picture, purely to make a record, so that you who can't come to participate feel the general atmosphere. The following photos are taken from Canon R6, lens RF24-105F4, and by PS simple post-, small aperture in the night easy to shoot paste running focus, I am also amateur, photography guys please spray lightly.
We wear masks throughout the whole process, but also frequent hand washing and disinfection, the following are all real shooting records, each photo has been watermarked, welcome to forward and borrow pictures, a total of 56 pictures, in the order of shooting with a simple explanation, let's get started.
Arriving at the starting point of the trip, Shibuya Station Hachiko-mae, we arrived at about 6 p.m. last night, and there were already a lot of people, but there were not many people in cross-dressing.
The Hachiko Statue of the Faithful Dog is the symbol of Shibuya Station, and because the station is too large, many people usually make appointments here when they make friends. In the past few days, all of Japan is holding elections for members of the House of Representatives, and Hachiko has also rubbed a wave of heat.
The famous Shibuya intersection site is known as the world's most crowded intersection. I don't know if it is the largest in the world, anyway, it must be the largest in Japan, the green light flashed immediately everyone began to walk, there are many people carrying cameras here to take videos and take pictures.
The strange man in front of the intersection.
Coming to the stairs on the second floor of Shibuya 109 in front of me, I also brought a picture for my daughter, who was dressed up today with the "Onizu Blade" in the "Oni gate 禰 bean". The child's mother persuaded her for a long time before she was willing to wear it, she felt particularly ashamed to wear this out, there were several passers-by who praised her cuteness and wanted to take a photo with her, but she refused, too shy.
Shooting down the stairs, there are really a lot of people, and now they are waiting for the red light.
As soon as the green light changed, the people of the dark yang began to walk, and all the people in the eye were people.
Crossroads in front of Bershka On Central Street, will be back later.
Don Quixote front.
On the side of the Ferrari, there are still some police cars next to it that have not been photographed, the security is very high, and there are police comrades everywhere with horns shouting that everyone should not stop when they walk up.

Genzaka Alley.
The slope in the path of The Road Gensaka, there are fewer people. However, on the side of the road, I saw an ordinary Chinese compatriot next to me live on my mobile phone, and I heard him say a sentence: I hope to reach 2 million fans next year, I am also drunk, and sure enough, the traffic is the wealth password.
Back at Bershka, I saw the dog I saw a few years ago and was happy to see it back this year.
This dog especially cooperates with its owner, the various Poses are very suitable, its owner also has a small tengu mask, and later put it on, this picture is used as the cover of this article.
A group of passers-by watching dogs, Xiao Meng pet has no resistance to many people.
Then I walked, and I met an old beauty dressed as a NASA astronaut, and behind her was a person dressed in samurai costume, a thief pulling the wind.
Walking in front were a couple, very creative, the man was a prisoner and the woman was the officer who subdued him.
After walking around the Shibuya junction, it was obvious that there were more people than at the beginning.
A lot of people came up to take pictures with this samurai, and the red was really dazzling.
Cosplay for squid games is also popular and has recently gone viral on Netflix.
Looking in the direction of the Shibuya Building, the latter two buildings had not been built when I first came to Japan, and I did not understand how Shibuya, which was full of land, could be used to build tall buildings.
Dogenzaka direction.
Close view in the direction of Dogenzaka.
I met with a few Shanghai compatriots who were walking around Shibuya together, looked at the flagship stores 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, and a new super-large building was also being built next to Roppongi Hill, which seemed to be a key project in Tokyo.
Continuing around, I saw the Minion Motorcycle Squad.
Saw the Didi delivery man, DiDi Food, dressed up as Mario.
A Lamborghini convoy appeared in front of them, and several cars passed at once, and they were beaten.
Stuck in the distance by the red light, there is also a leopard print color, I have to say, really earthy.
There were several more, and only three were photographed.
Crowds of people waiting for red lights on the side of the road and police officers maintaining order.
It was back again, and by this time there were obviously more people, about 8 o'clock.
Ads on the display for squid games.
I always think that this person is quite familiar, and may be a YouTube blogger in Japan.

It looks like it came from the Indian one.
Continue walking back to Shibuya Central Street, where the water is not clear.

This street is the most crowded.
Daisanbunshi-kun.
The third time I returned to the intersection in front of Bershka, compared to the previous one, it was now too crowded to walk, and there were dozens of policemen in the middle to make everyone move around.
Looking back at Central Street, my friend's shop is open here and I am rich.
On the second floor of McDonald's sat a ghost, comparing hearts to the people downstairs, and the people downstairs frantically greeted him, completely strangers familiar with him.
There are no stalls on the side of the road, but there is a snack cart which sells small cakes.
On the way you see anyone going up and asking for a group photo, you can.
Golden Run and Olympic Freaks.
The Olympic freak is a man with glasses.
I also photographed a lot of strange people, but there were many who couldn't send them.
It was 9 o'clock and we were ready to go home early, but Shibuya Halloween was just beginning.
One last look at the flow of people.
Give your daughter a final photo, and put it with the photos of previous years to prove that she has also come this year.
Crowds in front of the Yachiko exit of the Yamanote Line.
Towards the entrance of the Fukutoshin Line, Shibuya Station has more than a dozen trams intersecting, and different tram entrance locations are different.
Sure enough, when we went back, a group of old beauties had just arrived at the battlefield, although the photo was really too hot to take, and the most hilarious thing about Halloween was these foreigners, after all, it was the "Foreign Festival".
Miyashita Park was transformed into a large shopping mall, but we didn't have a chance to go today, and we couldn't walk anymore.
One last look and see you next Halloween.
These are all my records from yesterday. Many friends who just landed in Japan last year saw such a hi scene yesterday and decided to feel it today, but it rained today, and you should pay attention to safety when you go.
