PokéPark Kanto, the Pokémon Company’s first permanent Pokémon theme park, will open on Thursday, February 5th, 2026. The amusement park will stretch over 26,000 square meters in Kawasaki, Japan. And what will this mini-region include? The park will consist of a Pokémon Forest, Trainers’ Market, Gym, Battle Court, and more. And, of course, many Pokémon.
The Pokémon Company released an official trailer on Monday featuring a virtual mockup of the park. There won’t actually be real catchable critters roaming around, rather the park will have statues of them throughout. Still, the trailer gives a great sense of the scale and design of the park, as it features iconic buildings from the franchise such as a Gym and Pokémon Center. Check it out below.
PokéPark Kanto Tickets
Tickets for PokéPark Kanto will go on sale on November 21st at 1:00AM PST. Residents of Japan may purchase tickets on PokéPark Kanto’s official website. For guests visiting from outside of Japan, tickets will become available on this website here.
PokéPark Kanto will have two kinds of tickets for sale. The Ace Trainer’s Pass will include Sedge Town and Pokémon Forest park entry at any time as well as meet-and-greats, merchandise, priority lanes, and a reserved seat for the Sedge Gym Show. Meanwhile, the Trainer’s Pass will include Sedge Town park entry at any time and a single timed-entry admission to the Pokémon Forest.
Starting in summer 2026, PokéPark Kanto will offer a third ticket-type. The Town Pass will include Sedge Town park entry at any time, but won’t include the Pokémon Forest.
PokéPark Kanto Attractions
PokéPark Kanto will consist of two main areas, Sedge Town and Pokémon Forest. Sedge Town consists of a number of attractions while Pokémon Forest has a number of photo-ops with your favorite Pokémon. Between the two areas, PokéPark Kanto will feature over 600 Pokémon. Both areas are a part of Yomiuriland.
First, guests will enter the Pokémon theme park through the PokéPark Entrance Plaza. While it’s not a true area in and of itself, it will house the Pokémon Research Lab which serves as the entrance to Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. Guests must present the relevant passes to order to be admitted. It also houses the Pokémon Daisuki Shop which will require its own ticket to visit.
The Pokémon Forest is an outdoor area spanning over 1,600 feet in length. It has various terrains including hills, grass, trails and more. And more importantly, it has a variety of statues of Pokémon from Kanto as well as other regions.
Sedge Town will serve as the main hub of PokéPark Kanto. Here, guests will find the Pokémon Trainers’ Market, Pokémon Center, Poké Mart, Gym, and Pokémon parade, as well as the Pika Pika Paradise and Vee Vee Voyage attractions. The centerpiece will be Sedge Town’s Primarina Fountain. Here is the list of the PokéPark Kanto attractions in Sedge town:
- Pokémon Trainers’ Market: a place to buy Pokémon merchandise.
- Pokémon Center: come here to watch Pokémon “recover” in the healing machine.
- Poké Mart: guests can purchase specialty drinks here.
- Gym: the location of the PokéPark Kanto stage shows.
- Pika Pika Paradise: a ride powered by “over 30 electric-type Pokémon.” Ticketed separately.
- Vee Vee Voyage: an Eevee-inspired carousel. Ticketed separately.
Planning a Visit to the Pokémon Theme Park
If getting tickets to PokéPark Kanto is anything like getting reservations for one of Japan’s Pokémon Cafes, expect a ticket hotter than Magcargo. Thankfully, it looks like the Pokémon Company is attempting to ease ticket purchasing with a lottery system. Those who enter from November 21st to December 8th will receive a notification (if they win) towards the end of December for February or March tickets.
For those who wish to visit after April 1st, the lottery registration will run from the 1st to the 12th of each month for tickets three months in advance. Winners will also receive a notification to purchase tickets towards the end of the month in which they registered.
Note that a few attractions are ticketed separately. Some of these, like the Pokemon Daisuki Shop, require advance tickets while others, like Vee Vee Voyage, may be purchased onsite.
Located just outside Tokyo, PokéPark Kanto may be reached from Tokyo by taking the Keiō Line from Shinjuku Station to Keiō-yomiuriland Station. Once you reach the park, you’ll check in at the Entrance Plaza. Note that international visitors will likely have to present a passport upon entry.
If you plan to be among to very first, or very best, to visit PokéPark Kanto, may the lottery odds be in your favor!
