While Halloween is not really celebrated in Japan, we managed to "trick or treat" three days in a row.
First we went door knocking in Masako's large apartment complex (overlooking Nagoya castle) together with 20 Japanese Moms and kids. Masako was so kind to decorate her home and equip 9 more homes with nice treats to have her and her friends' kids experience "trick or treat".
The next day we were invited to Yufang and Gaston's haunted house in Yagoto. Just finding the house in a dark alley and the nightly walk from our house and back made it spooky.....
We finally spent Halloween night in Noda's haunted garden in the middle of rice fields just outside Nagoya.
Maxi's first Halloween outfit was Japan's popular cartoon hero Dragon Ball!
