The Pokémon Company has announced that PokéPark KANTO will open to the public on Thursday 5 February 2026.
Covering over 26,000 square meters in a corner of Yomiuriland, an amusement park nestled in Tokyo’s Tama Hills, PokéPark KANTO will be the first-ever permanent outdoor Pokémon attraction.
Visitors will be able to explore Pokémon Forest, Trainers’ Market, Gym, and Battle Court, and tickets will be available from 21 November 2025.
Meet more than 600 Pokémon
PokéPark KANTO features Pokemon Forest, set amidst the lush greenery of Tama Hills, and Sedge Town, which offers two permanent attractions and a variety of Pokemon merchandise for visitors.
In Pokémon Forest, visitors can observe the gestures and expressions of various Pokémon, including Pikachu, along a 500m walking trail. There are tunnels, stairs, and meadows that make use of the site’s rolling natural terrain.
Sedge Town features a Pokémon Center, a familiar spot for Pokémon game players to recover their Pokémon. It also has an attraction called Pika Pika Paradise, showcasing Pikachu and other Pokémon, and a merry-go-round named Vee Vee Voyage, featuring Eevee and friends.
The town also hosts parades featuring Pikachu and Eevee, and there's an area where visitors are welcomed by Pokémon. It includes a shop offering plush toys and other merchandise, along with a store that sells unique food and drinks.
Tickets on sale via lottery
Tickets will initially be available through a lottery, including the Trainer’s Pass and the Ace Trainer’s Pass, both granting access to Yomiuriland.
The Trainer’s Pass allows entry to both Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. The Ace Trainer’s Pass grants unlimited access to Pokémon Forest without a scheduled entry time. It also allows visitors to enjoy each attraction at Sedge Town once for free. Additionally, pass holders can take photos with a Pokémon cast that varies daily.
Yomiuriland is Tokyo's largest amusement park. The destination is named after Japan’s Kanto region, where Yomiuriland is located. Additionally, the 1996 Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green video games are set in a fictional area named the Kanto region.
Earlier this year, immersive art company Meow Wolf partnered with Pokémon Go creators Niantic Spatial to expand its universe via augmented reality (AR).
