PokéPark Kanto, the highly anticipated Pokémon-themed amusement park, is set to officially open its gates to the public on February 5, 2026.
Developed in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, this permanent attraction will be located within Yomiuriland in Tokyo's Tama Hills region.
The park promises an immersive experience for fans of all ages, offering meticulously designed areas based on the beloved franchise and celebrating decades of Pokémon's legacy both as a Nintendo video game series and cultural phenomenon. PokéPark Kanto will be divided into two main zones: Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town.
Pokémon Forest is designed as a 500-meter long nature adventure trail, featuring steep hills, tunnels, multiple staircases, grassy areas, and uneven paths aimed to simulate a Pokémon adventure through the wilderness.
However, visitors should be aware of specific accessibility requirements.
According to the official PokéPark site and as reported by IGN, guests who are unable to climb 110 steps without assistance, as well as those requiring the use of wheelchairs, will not be permitted to enter Pokémon Forest.
This policy, clarified by the park, is implemented 'to ensure visitor safety' due to the challenging terrain and nature of the attraction. Further entry restrictions for Pokémon Forest include children under the age of five, individuals under the influence of alcohol, those with heart conditions, pregnant guests, and people with high or low blood pressure or related health concerns that could be exacerbated by physical exertion.
Additionally, the site notes that inclement weather may result in the temporary suspension of activities within this area, prioritizing guest safety above all else. For those seeking alternative experiences, Sedge Town will feature a range of accessible attractions, including themed rides, interactive stores, and the Sedge Gym.
At the Sedge Gym, visitors can enjoy Pokémon stage shows, while the Primarina Fountain offers a gathering spot for fans, encouraging community interaction and trainer meet-ups.
Sedge Town’s design ensures inclusivity for a wider audience, with amenities that cater to various levels of mobility and age groups. Tickets for PokéPark Kanto will be distributed to Japanese residents starting November 21, 2025, with allocation managed via a lottery system to accommodate expected high demand.
The opening of PokéPark Kanto marks another milestone for The Pokémon Company and Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to expand their properties beyond the digital realm, building upon their established presence on platforms like Nintendo Switch, the eShop, and through regular Nintendo Direct presentations. As the PokéPark Kanto opening draws closer, fans can look forward to more updates regarding event schedules, special merchandise, and additional activities planned for the debut year.
Whether exploring the adventure-filled Pokémon Forest or enjoying the attractions of Sedge Town, PokéPark Kanto is shaping up to be a must-visit destination for both longstanding Pokémon Trainers and newcomers to the Nintendo family.
