The first permanent Pokemon theme park opens in February 2026
"PokéPark Kanto, the first permanent Pokémon theme park, will open its doors on February 5, 2026. Previous Pokémon parks and attractions existed in the past, but they were only open for a limited time. PokéPark Kanto will be located inside the Yomiuriland amusement park in Tokyo, Japan and will require an add-on pass to enter. Visitors will have to go through a "Pokémon Research Lab" building, which serves as the gateway to the park's two sections: Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town"
"The Pokémon Forest is exactly what it sounds like. It's a stretch of land with hills, paths with tall grass, rocky trails and tunnels where visitors will see Pokémon in their natural habitats. The Pokémon statues are posed to show that they're engaging in various activities, such as battling or playing with friends. Meanwhile, Sedge Town is the town center where visitors will find the Pokémon Center and Poké Mart, which sounds like a place where they can buy some refreshments."
PokéPark Kanto will open February 5, 2026 as the first permanent Pokémon theme park and will require an add-on pass inside Yomiuriland in Tokyo. Entry begins through a Pokémon Research Lab building that leads to two main areas: Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. Pokémon Forest contains hills, tall-grass paths, rocky trails and tunnels with posed Pokémon statues depicting natural behaviors and interactions. Sedge Town houses a Pokémon Center and Poké Mart for refreshments and shopping. Featured attractions include Pika Pika Paradise with over 30 electric-type Pokémon, Vee Vee Voyage carousel with Ponyta and Rapidash carriages, and Eevee balloon rides.
