If you’re a parent in Tokyo and wondering about Halloween events for kids in the city, you’ve come to the right place.
Halloween is becoming quite popular in Japan, and thankfully, alongside all the cute decorations you’ll see in shops, there are also plenty of spooky things to do. Well, not too spooky, this is Japan after all, so Halloween has certainly been kawaii-fied!
In this article, I’ll share my picks for safe, kid-friendly Halloween events in Tokyo that are bound to be a hit for the whole family.
2026 Halloween Events for Kids in Tokyo
Sanrio Puroland
Sanrio Puroland holds a Halloween event every year. Characters like Hello Kitty are dressed in adorable Halloween costumes and they hold Halloween-themed shows. There are fun Halloween-themed photo spots, spooky food, and souvenirs as well.
For 2026, the Halloween event is called PUROMONSTERSCRAMBLE. Sanrio characters dress up as adorable monsters, and there are Halloween-themed shows, photo spots, food, and limited-edition merchandise.
The event is being held from September 11th to November 3rd, 2026. For more information, check the Sanrio Puroland website.
I’ve also written about my experience visiting Sanrio Puroland with my daughter, so please take a look if you’re interested!
Halloween in Tama Center
Halloween in Tama Center is a large Halloween event held around Tama Center Station on October 24th and 25th, 2026.
There will be a Halloween costume parade as well as a large market with handmade goods, food, workshops, and other booths along Parthenon Boulevard.
I suggest perhaps combining this with Sanrio Puroland since it is also located in Tama Center.
For more information, visit their website.
Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea
I absolutely loved taking my daughter to her first Tokyo Disney Halloween. She really wanted to go again this year but unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out.
The Tokyo Disney parks boast Halloween parades where characters like Mickey and Donald are in awesome spooky costumes, fireworks to Halloween music, Halloween decorations throughout the park, and Halloween-themed Disney souvenirs and food.
The Haunted Mansion also becomes a ride featuring The Nightmare Before Christmas! I was worried my daughter might be a little scared (despite being a fan of the movie) but she was so tired that she fell asleep and seemed fine during the brief periods she woke up.
This is also the only time during the year that adults are allowed to wear Disney costumes to the parks, so it might be fun to do a family costume.
Note that many Halloween souvenirs sell out fast, especially the Mickey ghost ones, so the earlier you can go, the better.
Tokyo Disney’s Halloween event is being held from September 16th to October 31st, 2026.
One important thing to know if you want to dress up is that adults can no longer wear full Disney character costumes throughout the entire Halloween period. In 2026, full costumes are allowed from September 15th-30th and October 16th-31st, but not from October 1st-15th.
Don’t forget to read about my family’s experience visiting Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea before you go!
Tokyo Tower City Light Fantasia
From mid-September until Halloween day, Tokyo Tower will be showing ghostly projections on its windows in the evening.
On Halloween (October 31st), the tower will be lit up in Halloween colors!
The windows of the Main Deck will also be covered in Halloween-themed projections featuring things like witches, bats, jack-o’-lanterns, and autumn scenery, with the Tokyo skyline visible behind them.

Halloween Afternoon Tea in Tokyo
I went to several Halloween afternoon teas in Tokyo and loved each experience.
Hotels in Tokyo holding Halloween afternoon tea this year include the following:
ANA Intercontinental Tokyo: They have a Halloween Afternoon Tea Boost from October 1st-31st, 2026. This one is a little different from a traditional afternoon tea because you get plenty of savory dishes and meat as well as Halloween sweets. Some of the Halloween desserts include finger biscuits, pumpkin custard tarts, dark chocolate mousse, and purple sweet potato cream.
Grand Hyatt Tokyo: Their Halloween afternoon tea is from October 1st-31st, 2026. The afternoon tea has lots of cute Halloween-themed sweets, including ghost cheesecake, pumpkin monster choux cream, purple sweet potato roll cake, and bat-themed chocolate.

The afternoon tea costs 7,800 yen per person when booked online (reservations are required), although there is an additional 15% service charge.
Halloween Buffets in Tokyo
I didn’t have the chance to go to a Halloween buffet in Tokyo with my child but I did go in Osaka and we had a great time!
I love how creative the Halloween-themed dishes are, and they can give you some great ideas about what to make at home if you’re hosting a Halloween party.
Note that you should make a reservation in advance because these are quite popular!
Prince Hotel in Sunshine City (Ikebukuro): The Halloween Monster Party Sweets Buffet has some really fun Halloween desserts, including ghost roll cake, eyeball macarons, colorful pumpkin mousse, and even a dessert designed to look like an eyeball floating in a jar.
The buffet is held on weekends and holidays from September 5th-27th, and then from October 1st-31st, 2026.
ANA InterContinental Tokyo: The Autumn & Halloween Buffet at Cascade Cafe has a large selection of international dishes as well as Halloween-themed desserts. There are both lunch and dinner buffets.

The Halloween dinner buffet runs from October 2nd to October 31st on Fridays, weekends, and holidays and costs 8,500 yen for adults and 4,500 yen for children ages 4 to 12.
On Fridays, there is also a special benefit for guests who make a reservation and come dressed in costume.
