Luckily the rain held off until Monday so that we could get out and amongst the revelry over the weekend for Halloween – which seems to be getting bigger and bigger every year in Tokyo.
The obvious hotspots – Shibuya and Roppongi – were pumping, but there have been some incredible costumes spotted just about everywhere across the city.
Here’s a selection of our favorite photos submitted by a handful of Tokyo Weekender readers and staff:
