Pok\u00e9Park Kanto<\/a>, the first permanent Pok\u00e9mon theme park, will open its doors on February 5, 2026. Previous Pok\u00e9mon parks and attractions<\/a> existed in the past, but they were only open for a limited time. Pok\u00e9Park 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 \u201cPok\u00e9mon Research Lab\u201d building, which serves as the gateway to the park\u2019s two sections: Pok\u00e9mon Forest and Sedge Town<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Forest is exactly what it sounds like. It\u2019s a stretch of land with hills, paths with tall grass, rocky trails and tunnels where visitors will see Pok\u00e9mon in their natural habitats. The Pok\u00e9mon statues are posed to show that they\u2019re engaging in various activities, such as battling or playing with friends.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sedge Town is the town center where visitors will find the Pok\u00e9mon Center and Pok\u00e9 Mart, which sounds like a place where they can buy some refreshments. In addition to the main attractions, Pok\u00e9Park Kanto will feature Pika Pika Paradise, a ride featuring over 30 electric-type Pok\u00e9mon. There\u2019s also Vee Vee Voyage, a carousel featuring carriages pulled by Ponyta and Rapidash, as well as balloons where visitors can ride with Eevee.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve yet to see actual photos of the park, but the trailer below will give you a glimpse of what you can expect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pok\u00e9Park Kanto, the first permanent Pok\u00e9mon theme park, will open its doors on February 5, 2026.
