Otofuke's Halloween Culture

When one says Halloween in Japan, many have a strong image of a "costume party," but in the West it is a respectable seasonal event to celebrate autumn harvests and show appreciation for fertility. Even the 100% food self-sustaining Tokachi holds a Halloween event that seems like an "agricultural kingdom." At the food festival you can enjoy seasonal tastes and a jack-o'-lantern making (pumpkin carving) experience in the Tokachi style of Halloween.
