Attractions at PokéPark KANTO: Two Immersive Zones

PokéPark KANTO is an immersive theme park where fans can step directly into the world of Pokémon. The park features over 600 Pokémon living across two distinct zones: the Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town.

To access the park, head first to the PokéPark Entrance Plaza. Here, staff will verify your admission tickets as you are welcomed by a vibrant display of Pokémon.

Once you are geared up and ready, your journey officially begins at the Pokémon Research Lab. From there, you’ll embark on an original adventure filled with hidden surprises and unique discoveries.

Pokémon Forest: Home to Various Pokémon

The approximately 500-meter-long Pokémon Forest is a beautiful woodland featuring undulating paths, grass patches, tunnels, and winding mountain trails. The terrain is rich and colorful.

Here, you can encounter Pokémon from Kanto and other regions. As you explore, you’ll see them battling and gathering berries, offering a rare chance to observe their diverse ecology up close.

Some Pokémon are enormous in size, requiring visitors to look up to see their full forms. Others are hiding within the soil and among the plants.

What are they really doing? If you observe carefully, you might spot your favorite Pokémon in the act.

*Please note that a Trainer’s Pass or Ace Trainer’s Pass is required to enter the Pokémon Forest. Additionally, for safety reasons, children under 5 years of age are not permitted to enter the Forest, even if accompanied by a guardian.

Sedge Town: Gathering Trainers and Pokémon from Around the World

The second area within PokéPark KANTO is Sedge Town, a bustling plaza featuring a real-world Pokémon Center (the red-roofed building) and a Pokémon Mart (the blue-roofed building).

Inside the Pokémon Center, you’ll be greeted by Chansey. Here, you can watch your Pokémon friends "recover" in the Healing Machine.

Nearby at the Poké Mart, you’ll find exclusive merchandise, snacks, and drinks, making it the ideal stop to replenish your energy.

Daily stage shows and performances take place at the Sedge Gym. Visitors can enjoy parades, live shows, and daily meet-and-greet events with their favorite Pokémon.

Please be aware that some performances and meet-and-greets require either a limited-access ticket or a special pass. We recommend checking the official website for the latest schedule and ticketing details.

Family-friendly attractions include Pika Pika Paradise—a unique ride powered by over 30 Pikachus—and Vee Vee Voyage, a whimsical Eevee-themed carousel.

For those seeking a VIP experience, the Ace Trainer’s Pass offers exclusive Pikachu and Eevee greetings and professional keepsake photo sessions.

Don’t miss the exclusive PokéPark merchandise and creative themed snacks, some of which can be found at the Pokémon Daisuki Shop located at the PokéPark Entrance Plaza (*Please note that the Pokémon Daisuki Shop requires a limited-access ticket that needs to be obtained in advance).

How to Get to PokéPark KANTO

PokéPark KANTO is located within Yomiuriland, an amusement park that can be easily accessed from central Tokyo by train, bus, or car.

Access by Train

There are two nearest stations to Yomiuriland.

1. Keio-Yomiuriland Station (Keio Line)

From Keio-Yomiuriland Station, you can take the gondola Sky Shuttle (about 5–10 minutes, one way 300 yen, round trip 500 yen) or a route bus (about 10 minutes, adult one-way 240 yen).

We recommend the gondola, as it allows you to enter while enjoying expansive views of Yomiuriland.

2. Yomiuriland-mae Station (Odakyu Line)

From the station, a route bus (about 10 minutes, adult one-way 240 yen) is convenient. It is also accessible on foot in about 16 minutes.

The travel times from major areas in Tokyo are as follows:
