Date published: 12 November 2025

A dream destination for Pokémon fans is coming soon! PokéPark Kanto, the world’s first permanent outdoor Pokémon park, will open on February 5, 2026, inside Tokyo’s beloved Yomiuriland.

Set amid the green Tama Hills, this large-scale attraction recreates the magic of the Kanto region, inviting visitors to explore forests, towns, and more than 600 Pokémon brought to life in a natural outdoor setting.

PokéPark Kanto is the first-ever permanent outdoor Pokémon facility. Here, Trainers can begin their journey surrounded by nature, with plenty of places to explore and Pokémon to encounter.

At the PokéPark Entrance Plaza, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are waiting to greet guests. Visitors start their adventure from the Pokémon Research Lab, where they can prepare for their journey, then head into the world of PokéPark Kanto. Before setting off, don’t forget to stop by the Pokémon Daisuki Shop for exclusive merchandise.

Please note that entry to the Pokémon Daisuki Shop requires a limited-access ticket obtained in advance.

Explore the Wilderness of Pokémon Forest

The Pokémon Forest is a sprawling natural zone stretching about 1,600 feet (around 500 meters). Its varied landscape includes tall grass, tunnels, hills, and rocky trails where Pokémon appear to live freely in the wild. Visitors can watch them run, rest, and interact—just like in the games.

Entry to Pokémon Forest requires either a Trainer’s Pass or an Ace Trainer’s Pass. Certain restrictions apply, and children under 5 and their guardians may not be permitted to enter for safety reasons.

Discover the Excitement of Sedge Town

After exploring the forest, Trainers can relax and refuel in Sedge Town, a lively Pokémon-filled area packed with attractions and activities. At the Pokémon Center, Chansey welcomes visitors as Pokémon recover in the Healing Machine. Right next door, the Poké Mart offers refreshing specialty drinks perfect for taking a break.

The town also features the Pokémon Trainers’ Market, the Sedge Gym, and the elegant Primarina Fountain, where fans can gather for photos and parades. Two rides add even more fun: Pika Pika Paradise, a sparkling Electric-type ride powered by over 30 Pokémon, and Vee Vee Voyage, an enchanting carousel where guests can ride Ponyta, Rapidash, or soar with Eevee.

Both attractions require separate tickets, which can be purchased at the mobile ticket kiosk inside the Pokémon Trainers’ Market. Stage shows are also held daily at the Sedge Gym, offering a chance to enjoy performances and play together with Pokémon friends.
