🎉 Big news, Pokémon fans!
In spring 2026, something magical is opening in Tokyo, Japan—a real Pokémon theme park where you can explore, play, shop, and be surrounded by Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, and all your favorite pocket monsters every day!
📍 Called PokePark Kanto, this will be the first-ever permanent Pokémon park in the world! And it’s going to be built inside Yomiuri Land, the biggest amusement park in Tokyo.
🏞️ What’s Inside the Park?
The creators shared some awesome sneak peeks:
-
🌳 A giant Pokémon Forest – a “spacious wilderness” where you can feel like you’re walking through a real Pokémon world, just like Ash and his friends do in the TV show!
-
🎡 A fun zone with rides, shops, and attractions where you can buy cool Pokémon stuff and go on adventures with your family and friends!
🧠 Who’s Behind It?
The park is being made by The Pokémon Company, which is part of Nintendo, the company that made the first Pokémon video game back in 1996.
Junichi Masuda, one of the original Pokémon game creators, said:
“We want to create a space where Pokémon are always present and where people can have fun with them.”
So basically, it’s like stepping into a real-life Pokémon world! 😍
🐭 How Did It All Begin?
Pokémon started as a simple game on the Game Boy in the 90s. It was inspired by Japanese kids who used to catch bugs in the summer. That idea turned into a game where players catch, train, and battle Pokémon—tiny creatures based on animals, bugs, dragons, and even ghosts!
Since then, Pokémon has become one of the biggest franchises in the world, with:
-
🎮 Video games
-
📺 Cartoons and movies
-
📱 The “Pokémon Go” mobile game
-
🧸 Toys, trading cards, and more!
And now… it’s becoming a theme park that stays open forever! 🌈
✈️ Why Now?
Japan has seen a huge rise in tourists lately. More and more people are visiting, especially after places like the Harry Potter Studio Tour opened in Tokyo in 2023. So it’s the perfect time to launch a dream come true for fans across the globe.
🌟 So whether you dream of catching your first Pikachu, riding a Gyarados ride, or walking through a real Pokémon forest—get ready, because PokePark Kanto is coming…
And it’s going to be legendary. 🎮🔥
