PokéPark Kanto: Pokémon Theme Park Opens at Yomiuriland Tokyo in February 2026 The Pokémon Company has officially unveiled details about PokéPark Kanto, its highly anticipated Pokémon theme park set to open at Yomiuriland Amusement Park in Tokyo on February 5, 2026.

As a landmark event for Pokémon enthusiasts and the broader Nintendo fan community, this marks the world’s first permanent outdoor Pokémon park, providing an immersive experience dedicated to one of gaming’s most beloved franchises. PokéPark Kanto will be seamlessly integrated within Yomiuriland, one of Tokyo’s most popular amusement destinations.

The new park’s opening will be celebrated by a ticket lottery for Japanese residents, beginning on November 21, 2025.

While international ticketing details are pending, the official English website currently features a “Coming Soon” message, suggesting that announcements for global fans are on the horizon. PokéPark Kanto is thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas.

The Pokémon Forest offers a family-friendly woodland walk where guests can encounter life-sized statues of favorite Pokémon, including Pikachu, Eevee, and Nidoran, in natural settings ideal for photo opportunities.

This design brings the sense of discovery and excitement from the games and anime right into the real world, allowing fans to connect with their favorite creatures ‘in the wild.’ The other section, Sedge Town, offers a bustling urban experience featuring a Pokémon Center and Poké Mart where visitors can shop for exclusive merchandise.

Amusement rides such as 'Pika Pika Paradise' and 'Vee Vee Voyage' promise themed fun for all ages, while a dedicated show area called the 'Sedge Gym' will host live performances and interactives tied to the Pokémon universe. According to statements shared by The Pokémon Company, the goal behind PokéPark Kanto is to create an enduring entertainment destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Pokémon beyond video games and trading cards.

A spokesperson noted that this attraction represents the brand’s largest theme park endeavor to date, intended to deliver “lasting memories for trainers and families alike.” PokéPark Kanto’s launch is expected to further cement the franchise’s status as a cultural icon, building on over 440 million games sold worldwide and a legacy of innovative tie-ins across the Nintendo Switch, eShop, and beyond.

As we approach the grand opening, additional announcements are anticipated regarding ticket availability for international guests and new park features.

For now, Pokémon fans planning trips to Tokyo in early 2026 have an exciting new destination to look forward to as The Pokémon Company continues to expand its experiential footprint.
