Orange pumpkins still aren't really a thing here in Japan. So, when we saw a small selection today in front of a florist shop while out on a bike ride, I quickly bought 3! I simply couldn't resist.
My son absolutely loves Halloween. I tend to go above and beyond for him on this holiday. In fact, a friend who will be visiting before Halloween will be bringing a bit of American fun-size candy just for me to use while recreating trick-or-treating. Friends will hide behind doors in my house and then he'll get to go door-to-door collecting candy and treats!
Spending ¥1300 ($12) for three small pumpkins didn't seem like too much to pay for such a luxury item.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
