Arty Farty Halloween Party 2026
Saturday, October 31 | 8 PM–5 AM
Admission: ¥1,500, including one drink
Arty Farty’s Halloween celebration keeps things straightforward: DJ KENTA, a full night of music, and costumes completely optional.
Come dressed up or come as yourself. If you want a party without needing to build your evening around a costume theme, this is an easy option to put on your list.
Its 8 PM opening also makes it an earlier starting point than the parties beginning at 9 PM.

Jimi Halloween at ArcH: Everyday Costumes Welcome
Saturday, October 31 | From 9 PM
You don’t necessarily need an elaborate costume to join Halloween in Nichome.
ArcH’s “Jimi Haro DEMO Ii ja Night” embraces jimi Halloween: understated costumes based on everyday people, situations, and oddly specific moments.
Think “someone who came to the supermarket for one thing and forgot what it was” rather than a vampire or movie character. The explanation is part of the fun! Guests using the jimi costume discount are asked to explain their outfit at the entrance.
Admission
- Standard entry: ¥2,000, including one drink
- Jimi Halloween costume: ¥1,000, with no drink included
- Full-on costume: Free admission, with a separate one-drink purchase required
The all-genre DJ lineup includes fancyBOYS, NAKAMATA, Neon, Nosh, OSARU, and TOMOHIRO. Drag performers include JAPAM, Meringue, Rui Biton, and LOLA X, with TAKA appearing as floor boy.
ArcH is listed at Futami Building 1F, 2-14-11 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. See the event listing and updates.
Neo Masquerade: Start Early or Arrive After Midnight
Saturday, October 31 | 7 PM–4:30 AM
Neo Masquerade offers two admission periods for Halloween:
- 7 PM–midnight: ¥3,000, including two drinks
- Midnight–4:30 AM: ¥1,000, including one drink
The 7 PM opening makes this the earliest announced start in our roundup. The after-midnight rate also gives night owls another option for the later part of the evening.
If you plan to stay across midnight or leave and return, confirm the arrangements with the venue.

Planning Your Nichome Halloween Night
For a dance-focused night with a large performance lineup, look at RUSHCRUISE. Wear white or red if you want to use its advertised dress-code discount.
For a straightforward party with costumes optional, Arty Farty has a ¥1,500 entry price with a drink included.
For drag shows and a costume contest, KINGDOM TOKYO has celebrations on both Friday and Saturday.
For a costume built around whatever you’ve got in your closet, ArcH’s jimi Halloween theme offers a different way to dress up.
For an earlier start or a later stop, check Neo Masquerade’s two admission periods.
You can also build a night around more than one venue, but budget for separate cover charges. The only shared admission advertised in these announcements is KINGDOM TOKYO and G-MEN TOKYO.
Before You Go
Bring photo ID and check each venue’s admission requirements, including age restrictions and any event-specific entry policies. RUSHCRUISE explicitly lists its event as MIX; don’t assume every venue has identical rules.
Keep an eye on official announcements for ticket availability, performance times, and changes. Several parties continue into Sunday, November 1, so plan your journey home accordingly.
Finally, ask before photographing other guests or posting their images. A great Halloween night should leave everyone comfortable enjoying their own look, identity, and company.
Prices and schedules reflect the announcements available when this guide was prepared. Check the linked organizers’ pages before attending.
