Halloween goods at Joyful Honda
Joyful Honda near JR Arakawaoki Station started selling Halloween stuff in August, and they now have a whole lot more!
At the moment the Halloween goods are only at Joyful Honda 2, an Arts and Craft Store next to the main Joyful Honda store, but they usually have pumpkins and other Halloween stuff in the flower & flower arrangement supply area of the main Joyful Honda building as well.
I've never seen Joyful Honda selling the costumes, but Toysrus near this Joyful Honda should have some. FYI,Toysrus on line has already started discounting Halloween costumes and other items:
