Hundreds of youngsters donned their scariest costumes for the 38th annual Harajuku Omotesando Hello Halloween Pumpkin Parade in Tokyo on Sunday.

The parade stretched the entire length of the Omotesando avenue, lined with zelkova trees.

It was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s event was held at two-thirds capacity.
