Echigo Hillside Park leaning into Halloween more and more each year

It has been really fun to watch how Japan has embraced Halloween more and more each year during my time living here. I really enjoy seeing all of the decorations pop up, especially when places like Echigo Hillside Park put so much effort into creating a spooky atmosphere!

If you do live in Niigata, it's a great spot to check out at this time of year. Along with all the Halloween decor up (which makes for great photo opportunities!) there are also loads of lovely flowers to enjoy, including one of my favorites which is cosmos.
