A new Pokémon-themed outdoor facility, PokéPark Kanto, will open in spring 2026 within the Yomiuriland amusement park, the Asia News Network reported.

Spanning approximately 2.6 hectares across Inagi, Tokyo, and Kawasaki, the park will be accessible via Yomiuriland and set amid the greenery of the Tama Hills.
Two key zones - Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town - will offer nature-inspired experiences and interactive events, including meet-and-greets with Pokémon and parades.
