PokéPark Kanto Announced: The Pokémon Company Launches New Attraction at Yomiuriland Tokyo

The Pokémon Company has officially announced the formation of PokéPark Kanto Limited, a new subsidiary dedicated to operating a special Pokémon-themed attraction at Tokyo’s renowned Yomiuriland Amusement Park.

This groundbreaking project, named PokéPark Kanto, continues the company's tradition of immersive entertainment experiences that draw fans from across the globe. PokéPark Kanto is conceptualized as a destination where Pokémon enthusiasts can unite to enjoy the world of Pokémon in a natural, open-air environment.

According to an official statement, the attraction is envisioned as a space where visitors—regardless of nationality, language, or region—can experience Pokémon together amidst the park’s lush surroundings.

Fans who remember the highly praised Pokémon Wonder experience in Yomiuriland from 2021 will recognize this as a clear evolution, positioning PokéPark Kanto as the next major chapter in live Pokémon entertainment. The establishment of PokéPark Kanto Limited signifies The Pokémon Company's growing interest in live attractions and themed amusement experiences.

While the company is known primarily for its immensely successful video games—such as the Pokémon Sword and Shield titles on the Nintendo Switch, and the ever-popular mobile game Pokémon GO—its expansion into dedicated entertainment facilities highlights the brand’s diverse global appeal.

Yomiuriland, located on the outskirts of Tokyo, has long been a hub for innovative family entertainment, making it a fitting home for this ambitious project. In their official Japanese-language announcement on social media, The Pokémon Company emphasized their vision for PokéPark Kanto: "The new PokéPark Kanto attraction at Yomiuriland is intended to be a place where people from around the world can feel close to Pokémon and share in the joy of the brand, transcending borders and enjoying nature together." While the park's opening date and specific activities are yet to be revealed, anticipation is building among the global Pokémon community. Pokémon attractions have proved to be major draws in the past.

The Pokémon Company previously achieved resounding success with temporary and permanent installations, such as Pokémon Centers and themed exhibitions in Japan and internationally.

With over 440 million copies of Pokémon games sold worldwide as of 2023 and the Nintendo Switch continuing to dominate hardware sales, the franchise’s expansion into real-world experiences is a logical step forward. Currently, further information—including ticketing, attraction features, and event schedules—has not yet been disclosed.

Fans can expect official updates from The Pokémon Company in the coming months.

For now, PokéPark Kanto stands as an exciting promise for both local and international visitors eager to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Pokémon within the heart of Tokyo.
