Table of Contents
The Kichijoji Halloween Trick or Treat festival is coming soon (10/3 update, tickets are here!). Currently, the 2023 event is in its final stages of planning. The event features trick-or-treating around local businesses in the Kichijoji area. There is also a parade where all the kids can take over a street and walk around in style.
NEW UPDATE as of October 3rd 2023
It is one of the few chances in Tokyo to experience a western style Trick or Treating Halloween event. It is especially popular with our students in the K-12 returnee and bilingual courses at Lexis. Lexis has special insight into this trick or treating event because it is hosted by, among others, several of our staff members. They work incredibly hard to put this event together for the local families and the international community. We are incredibly proud of the hard work they do every year!

Lexis has been a proud sponsor of the Kichijoji Halloween Festival for many years and is proud to be offering updates in English about the event as they become available to the public.
Last year this children's event sold out extremely fast.
Because of our connections with the event leaders, we were able to save a few extra tickets just for our students. Even so, we had to turn down many more people because it was just too popular of an event. If you have a chance, get tickets as soon as you can!
