Yesterday was Halloween in America. Trick or treaters go house to house begging for candy. most people participated. In Japan, begging for anything is rude. There might be private parties in peoples homes, but going to neighbors or strangers is unthinkable. I never saw Japanese children dressing up even for school plays.
Now that I have experienced Halloween three times I know it's fun. Japanese people live in dense housing without front yards to run through.
Since the Japanese think asking for anything from outside the family is rude, I doubt the Halloween ritual will be entering the country soon.
