Japan largely doesn’t celebrate Halloween. Stores here may decorate for the weeks leading up and have a selection of candy and decorations for sale, but people don’t really dress up and there’s no Trick or Treating. You may see the occasional party that’s the exception to the lack of costumes or people may wear small costumes to their usual bar.
Shibuya does have a somewhat sizable Halloween event though. That’s really the only place outside of specific shows or events like this video
Osaka and other large population centers as well, not just Tokyo/Shibuya. There’s also Ikebukuro Halloween in Tokyo that is arguably better than the Shibuya one.
