Tokyo is paradise for Pokémon enthusiasts, offering everything from immersive Pokémon Centers to themed cafés serving up pocket-monster-inspired food and drinks. If you’re in town this summer, you can even have a sleepover with your favourite Pokémon at Grand Hyatt Tokyo.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there – Pokémon fans are in for a major treat, as Tokyo is set to welcome its first-ever permanent outdoor Pokémon attraction in spring 2026. PokéPark Kanto will take over an expansive 26,000sqm space at Yomiuriland in the western suburbs and will feature a Pokémon Center, Trainers' Market, Gym, Pokémon Mart, Sedge Town area, and a ‘Pokémon Forest’ home to over 600 pocket monsters.
That last one looks set to be one of the park’s highlights. The lush Pokémon Forest will feature a mix of terrains from hilly paths and tall grassy areas to tunnels and rocky trails. Here, you'll be able to observe a wide variety of Pokémon in the wild.
Another exciting area is Sedge Town, home to a Pokémon Center, Poké Market, Gym and Trainers’ Market, where you can shop for exclusive merchandise. You’ll also be able to catch a Disneyland-style Pokémon parade here, along with two other attractions. At the heart of the town, the Primarina Fountain serves as a gathering spot for Pokémon trainers visiting the grounds.
The grand opening of PokéPark Kanto is set for spring 2026, with advance ticket sales expected to begin in autumn 2025. We’ll keep you posted when tickets become available.
