The Shibuya Halloween Miracle

Each Halloween, Shibuya transforms into a vibrant street party with thousands of revelers donning elaborate costumes and celebrating late into the night. Despite the massive crowds and festivities, volunteers work tirelessly throughout the night to clean up the streets, removing litter and debris left behind by partygoers. This remarkable display of community spirit and civic pride, known as the “Shibuya Halloween Miracle,” showcases Tokyo’s commitment to cleanliness and orderliness even in the face of large-scale events and celebrations. The swift and efficient cleanup process ensures that Shibuya’s streets are restored to their pristine condition by morning, allowing residents and visitors to continue enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
