Osaka Loop Line Halloween Party

Since at least 1991, the loop line has gained fame from the resident expatriate Westerners in Osaka as being host to a Halloween party every year. On the last Saturday before October 31, local foreigners and Japanese gather at the Osaka platform, board the loop line in full Halloween dress and throw a party on the train as it circles the city. The group usually leaves around 9pm and generally heads clockwise to Temma, although some years the party has moved counter-clockwise towards Fukushima. Traditionally there is a 30 minute stop in Tennoji to pick-up stray passengers, use the washrooms, take pictures, and buy additional alcoholic refreshments. The party has garnered attention from the local news and confused Japanese residents. The party has had mixed levels of success over the years. 2004 and 2005 saw the party grow to several hundred costumed participant. On October 28, 2006, JR officials attempted to tightly control the party, and posted hundreds of security personnel at the Osaka and Tennoji stations as well as a few officials along the way. Costumers were warned not to bother other passengers and eventually let onto the trains along with several security guards. The group splintered badly in Kyobashi and Tennoji and the party was effectively shut down. Halloween is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets. ... October 31 is the 304th day of the year (305th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 61 days remaining. ...
