Ikebukuro’s massive shopping complex, Sunshine City, is offering plenty of free activities for both children and adults to enjoy this Halloween from September 29 to October 31. Primary school students and younger kids can get a free assortment of snacks at the South exit in the first-floor Alpa Specialty Shop section. You need to bring your own candy box, which you can make at home using an empty milk carton. Just make sure you paste on the event’s Halloween candy box illustration, which you can print out online or find on leaflets at Sunshine City.
The Sunshine 60 Observatory Deck Tenbou Park and Ehon-no-Hiroba will be decked out in Halloween decor. While Ehon-no-Hiroba is free, Tembou Park requires a ¥700 entry fee (¥500 for middle school students and younger) on weekdays and ¥900 (¥600) on weekends and holidays.
Make sure to visit on October 31 to catch a free concert by The Crazy Angel Company dressed in their best Halloween costumes.
