Although the religious aspects of Christmas aren’t widely celebrated in Japan, the country has fully embraced jolly old St. Nick. This has led to a very different version of Christmas than most are used to, but it’s still “Christmas.” Japanese households are sure to eat Christmas cake (a cake with candles eaten on Christmas day that looks similar to birthday cake) and enjoy the traditional Christmas bucket of KFC chicken (clever marketing, KFC!). Despite its differences, Christmas is still accepted as Christmas and it seems like all of Japan celebrates the holiday in some form on December 25th.
Judging from the status of Christmas in Japan, you would think that the Japanese are also crazy for Halloween. On the contrary, Halloween is not very popular in Japan.
But why hasn’t Halloween taken off the way Christmas has? Japanese website, Yukan News, asked this very same question.
