- Opens February 5, 2026
The new Pokémon-themed park, PokéPark KANTO (Inside Yomiuriland, 4015-1 Yanokuchi, Inagi-shi, Tokyo), is officially opening its gates on February 5.
This is a world of adventure where you can become a Trainer and experience the world of Pokémon you once dreamed of, where these beloved creatures exist in real life. In this article, we'll cover the must-see attractions and highlights, as well as how to get tickets, access the park, and other essential preparations to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day.
PokéPark KANTO consists of three distinct areas
PokéPark KANTO is the first-ever permanent outdoor Pokémon facility, located within the Yomiuriland amusement park. This is a completely new 2.6-hectare area, built through a large-scale renovation of the existing park grounds in the lush Tama Hills of the Kanto region, plus development of previously unused land.
The park is divided into three areas: "PokéPark Entrance," "Kayatsuri Town," and "Pokémon Forest." Here, you'll find a sprawling forest and town where over 600 different Pokémon live. The park offers exclusive attractions, shows, parades, merchandise, and food, allowing guests to become "Pokémon Trainers" and embark on an adventure filled with exciting encounters.
Three Ticket Types Available via First-Come, First-Served and Lottery Sales on the Official Website
There are three types of tickets: the "Elite Trainer's Pass," the "Trainer's Pass," and the "Town Pass." Prices vary depending on the date of your visit, and all tickets include admission to the main Yomiuriland amusement park.
Elite Trainer's Pass
Price: Adults from ¥14,000, Children from ¥11,000, Seniors from ¥13,500, Guests with disabilities from ¥11,000
Details: This pass grants you access to Pokémon Forest and Kayatsuri Town with no designated entry time. It also includes special perks such as an exclusive greeting experience, reserved seating for the Kayatsuri Gym Show, priority access lanes for attractions, and an original gift.
Trainer's Pass
Price: Adults from ¥7,900, Children from ¥4,700, Seniors from ¥7,100, Guests with disabilities from ¥4,700
Details: This pass allows one-time entry to Pokémon Forest within a specified time frame (no re-entry) and unlimited access to Kayatsuri Town.
Town Pass (Available for admission from May 2026)
Price: Adults from ¥4,700, Children from ¥2,800, Seniors from ¥4,200, Guests with disabilities from ¥2,800
Details: This pass grants admission to Kayatsuri Town only. It is intended for guests who do not wish to enter Pokémon Forest or only want to visit Kayatsuri Town.
These three ticket types are sold sequentially through first-come, first-served and lottery systems on the official website.
For first-come, first-served sales, tickets for admission up to the end of the month, two months in advance, will be sold on the last day of each month. For example, on February 28 at 6:00 PM, tickets for April 28, 29, and 30 will become available.
Lottery applications for admission from opening day through April 5 have already closed. The next lottery will be for admission from May 1 onward, with applications accepted from the 1st to the 12th of each month for entry three months ahead (e.g., applications in February are for May admission).
How to Get There: First, Ride the Gondola to Enter Yomiuriland
Since PokéPark KANTO is located inside Yomiuriland, your first step is to get to the nearest station, Keio Yomiuriland Station. From there, take the dedicated "Sky Shuttle" gondola to the Yomiuriland entrance gate.
A one-way gondola trip costs ¥300 (or ¥500 for a round trip) and takes about 10 minutes to reach the Yomiuriland entrance. At the gate, simply present your PokéPark KANTO pass (any of the three types).
From the Yomiuriland entrance, it's about a 10-minute walk to the entrance of PokéPark KANTO.
Two Main Attractions: A Fun Ride and a Carousel for All Ages
In "Kayatsuri Town," a bustling city where Trainers and Pokémon from around the world gather, you can enjoy two main attractions.
The first is "Pika Pika Paradise," a dynamic ride powered by over 30 Electric-type Pokémon. The second is "Vui Vui Voyage," a whimsical merry-go-round that takes you on a trip around the world with Eevee and its Evolutions, the "Eeveelutions."
Both attractions cost ¥1,200 for adults (13+) and ¥800 for children (3-12). Timed-entry tickets are sold at a wagon inside Kayatsuri Town's "Pokémon Trainers' Market." Holders of the "Elite Trainer's Pass" can ride each attraction once per day at no extra charge using the priority lane.
Children under 5 must be accompanied by a paying adult (13 or older).
Daily Shows, Parades, and Greetings
The "Pika Pika Sparks!" show, held at the Kayatsuri Gym in Kayatsuri Town, features Pikachu and other Pokémon dancing alongside performers in a dazzling display of lights and music. The show is held four times a day and lasts about 30 minutes.
Twice a day, the "PikaVui Bubble Carnival" parade marches through Kayatsuri Town. Watch as Pikachu and Eevee, dressed in special carnival costumes, join performers in a grand procession that circles the town.
Character greetings take place at two locations in Kayatsuri Town: the "Pokémon Friendship House" and the "PikaVui Playroom."
At the Pokémon Friendship House, you can meet different Pokémon each day, including Clefairy, Vulpix, Psyduck, Growlithe, Slowpoke, Gengar, Lapras, and Dragonite. Which Pokémon will appear is a surprise for the day of your visit.
Meanwhile, at the PikaVui Playroom, you can interact and take photos with Pikachu and Eevee in their carnival costumes. You'll also receive a photo in an original frame.
Important Notes for Visiting the "Pokémon Forest"
The lush and natural Pokémon Forest has steep inclines and many stairs. For safety reasons, children under 5 are not permitted to enter, even with a guardian. Wheelchairs and strollers are also not permitted. Entry is restricted for individuals who cannot safely navigate stairs on their own and for pregnant guests. Please review the restrictions before purchasing your ticket.
The steepest slope is quite challenging; our reporter, who is not particularly athletic, was a bit out of breath by the top. Imagine a hill so steep you would need to lean forward and take slow, deliberate steps to climb it.
To get a closer look at the "wild" Pokémon—some half-buried in the dirt, others climbing steep slopes, or soaring through the sky—we highly recommend wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty. Skirts, heels, and sandals are not advisable.
Exclusive Original Merchandise You Can Only Get Here
The park is filled with exclusive PokéPark KANTO merchandise that you won't find at Pokémon Center stores across Japan.
The largest shop is the "Pokémon Daisuki Shop," located in the PokéPark Entrance area where your adventure begins. Here you'll find headbands, pochette bags, apparel, stationery themed after the park's areas and attractions, as well as souvenirs like snacks and plush toys.
Entry to the Pokémon Daisuki Shop requires a numbered ticket (distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, one per person per day). However, some merchandise is also available at wagons in the "Pokémon Trainers' Market" in Kayatsuri Town, which you can browse at any time. Be sure to grab the exclusive pin badges available only at the market—they're a must-have!
Food and Drinks Straight from the World of Pokémon!
Food and beverages are sold at wagons and shops in the central "Kayatsuri Town." For example, the "Friendly Shop" sells recovery drinks inspired by the moves of the three Kanto region starter Pokémon: Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle.
You can also purchase PokéPark KANTO's original bottled drinks, designed after the iconic "Fresh Water," "Psycho Soda," and "Moomoo Milk" from the games.
Other offerings include grab-and-go items like popcorn, onigiri (rice balls), and baguette sandwiches. The park also plans to introduce seasonal, limited-time menu items in the future.
All food is for takeout only, as there are no sit-down restaurants inside. You can enjoy your food and drinks at the tables and chairs provided throughout the park.
Downloading the Official App is Essential Before Your Visit
The PokéPark KANTO Official App is a must-have. It not only displays your admission tickets and a digital map but is also required to enter lotteries for numbered tickets for the Kayatsuri Gym Show, the Pokémon Daisuki Shop, and the Pokémon Friendship House. Please note that the time slots for these tickets cannot be changed once assigned.
By creating or joining a group from the "My Tickets" section, one person can handle park entry and ticket applications for the entire party. You can also assign tickets to members who may not have a smartphone, such as children.
However, the Elite Trainer's Pass is not eligible for this group feature, and its tickets cannot be shared.
All On-Site Purchases are Cashless
Cash is not accepted for any purchases within the park, including at shops and for attraction tickets. The park is entirely cashless. Various credit cards, transportation IC cards, and QR code payments are accepted. See details below.
Credit Cards
VISA, Mastercard, JCB, AMERICAN EXPRESS, Diners Club, DISCOVER, UnionPay
E-Money
iD, Transportation IC Cards (Suica, PASMO, etc.), QUICPay, WAON
QR Code Payments
PayPay, d-Barai, Rakuten Pay, Merpay, au PAY, WeChat Pay, Alipay, UnionPay, Alipay+
Free Wi-Fi and Mobile Battery Rentals Available
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the park. We confirmed connectivity from the PokéPark Entrance all the way to the deepest part of the park near the Pokémon Forest exit.
For charging your phone, a mobile battery rental service is available near the Prayer Room, next to the Pokémon Daisuki Shop in the entrance plaza.
Additionally, "ChargeSpot" stations are located inside Keio Yomiuriland Station, at a nearby Lawson convenience store, and within Yomiuriland at the Sky Gate entrance and Information Center.
Are There Coin Lockers for Storing Luggage?
There are no coin lockers inside PokéPark KANTO itself. Please use the lockers at Keio Yomiuriland Station or near the entrance and inside the main Yomiuriland park.
Coin lockers within Yomiuriland are located in one indoor area (next to the changing rooms) and scattered throughout the park. Some lockers feature a refund system, returning ¥100 of the fee when you're done. The cost is typically ¥500 (other sizes for ¥600, ¥400, and ¥300 are also available, and they are cash only).
Can I Enjoy the Park on a Rainy Day?
The park is mostly outdoors, with the exception of the greeting facilities (Pokémon Friendship House and PikaVui Playroom) and the Kayatsuri Gym show theater. Seating and dining areas consist of benches and tables with parasols.
While you might see a different side of the Pokémon on a rainy day, be aware that the parade schedule and attraction operating hours may change. Check the app for the latest information.
The Pokémon Daisuki Shop sells umbrellas and raincoats (Kids, M, L sizes), but since entry to the shop requires a timed ticket, it's a good idea to bring your own raincoat or poncho just in case of a sudden downpour.
Restrooms, Nursing Rooms, and Beverage Availability
During our preview, we noted there are no vending machines inside the park. The only bottled drinks for sale were the three original park-exclusive beverages (Fresh Water, Psycho Soda, Moomoo Milk) at a wagon in the Pokémon Trainers' Market. If you prefer other drinks like barley tea or sports drinks, we recommend purchasing them from a vending machine in the main Yomiuriland park before you enter PokéPark KANTO.
The nursing room near Pika Pika Paradise is heated and equipped with private stalls for women, changing tables, and a hot water dispenser for preparing formula. While baby food is not sold (you can bring your own), disposable diapers are reportedly available for purchase at a wagon in the Pokémon Trainers' Market.
The park also has five accessible restrooms (equipped for ostomates). Strollers and wheelchairs can be rented for ¥500 each at the "Sky Gate" entrance of Yomiuriland.
Head to the Information Wagon for Assistance
An Information Wagon is located in the Pokémon Trainers' Market in Kayatsuri Town (to the right-hand side when facing away from the Kayatsuri Gym). Head here for lost and found, lost children, or any other assistance you may need.
