Get Ready to Explore the First-Ever Permanent Outdoor Pokémon Facility at Yomiuri Land
Pokémon Wonder Comes to Life: PokéPark Kanto Opens February 2026!
Pokémon Wonder Comes to Life: PokéPark Kanto Opens February 2026! The countdown has officially begun! On February 5, 2026, Pokémon history will be made as PokéPark Kanto opens its gates at Yomiuri Land in Inagi, Tokyo. This joint venture between Yomiuri Land, The Yomiuri Shimbun, and The Pokémon Company brings the beloved world of Kanto into the physical realm. Spanning 2.6 hectares of the lush Tama Hills, this permanent outdoor facility offers fans an immersive experience unlike any other theme park.
Step Into the Wild at Pokémon Forest
Adventure seekers should head straight for the “Pokémon Forest” area. This zone utilizes the natural, hilly terrain of the region to recreate the feeling of a true wilderness. As you trek along the 500-meter winding trail, you will encounter various Pokémon in their natural habitats—hiding in the grass, peering from tunnels, or resting in the trees. Furthermore, the park allows visitors to actually ride on the backs of certain Pokémon, making your childhood dreams of becoming a trainer a reality.
Shop, Eat, and Play in Kayatsuri Town
Beyond the forest lies “Kayatsuri Town,” the vibrant hub of the park. Your first stop should be the iconic Pokémon Center, where trainers can “heal” from their travels and browse exclusive merchandise. If you feel hungry, the town features shops serving original Pokémon-themed food and drinks. Additionally, families can enjoy the “Pika Pika Paradise” attraction featuring Pikachu and the “Vui Vui Voyage” Eevee-themed merry-go-round. For those seeking entertainment, the Kayatsuri Gym hosts high-energy stage shows and parades that bring the community together.
Secure Your Tickets for the Ultimate Adventure
If you haven’t secured your entry yet, move quickly! Ticket sales began late last year, and demand remains incredibly high for the opening season. Currently, the park offers two main options: the “Trainer’s Pass” (starting at 7,900 yen) and the “Elite Trainer’s Pass” (starting at 14,000 yen). Because a PokéPark Kanto ticket also grants you admission to the main Yomiuri Land park, it provides a full day of excitement. Please visit the official website to check for any remaining spots or upcoming lottery windows for the spring season.
