Okayama Station during Halloween night

Okayama Station at Halloween night becomes a major destination for viewing cosplay.  Locals go all out with some amazing costumes.  Taking a close up look one can see the time put in to get the details of eyeballs falling out and scars on faces. It happens around 6-9pm before everyone calls it a night.
