3 Theme Parks In Japan To Celebrate Halloween This 2023

2. Sanrio Character Park Harmonyland (Oita)

Sanrio Character Park Harmonyland combines ‘cute’ and ‘scary’ with their Halloween festivities.

This October, see Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, and the rest of your favourite Sanrio characters at Sanrio Character Park Harmonyland dressed to the nines in their spookiest outfits. For the main highlight, the park is also holding a special “Halloween Night Fever” event happening on 28 and 29 October. This two-night affair will be held after the park’s regular operating hours, transforming the cute and fluffy Harmonyland into a colourful and sparkling Halloween wonderland.

If you’re a true horror junkie, the park also features non-Sanrio-themed Halloween attractions to explore. There’s the “Obaken Zombie Escape” experience where guests navigate through the night looking for a ‘cure’ in a terrifying zombie-infested site; the “Nightmare Hunt - Counterattack of the Ghost Clown” where guests will face off with a ghost clown to escape; the “Nightmare of Blackbirds Square” attraction which is a mystery-themed park tour experience; and the “Nightmare Greeting” where guests will get to snap photos with creepy creatures of the night.
