Halloween is rapidly approaching, and we want to remind you that leaving your costume to the last minute, and dressing “as yourself” or “an ax murderer, because they look just like you and me,” isn’t as creative as you think it is.  Get your costume on in Nagoya!  Halloween was not really “a thing” in Japan previously, but more recently, they have been jumping on the ghoulish bandwagon.  If you plan to dress up for the season, here are a few places to start looking for your costume. Don Quijote – (Discount Variety Store) Don Quijote has everything you never knew you always wanted.  This selection includes costume items, and while the stock at each store is different, the overall company offers 1,400 costumes year-round and likely more during Halloween.  Besides a good selection of costume items, they have a truly fantastic selection of odds and ends that could be re-purposed for creating your own costume.
