Pokémon enthusiasts can now enter a world that is as vibrant and immersive as their favorite video games. The world's first permanent outdoor Pokémon facility, PokéPark Kanto has opened at Tokyo’s Yomiuri Land amusement park, boasting hundreds of life-sized Pokémon, rides, and habitats to explore.
Upon entering the park, visitors are greeted by a replica of Professor Oak's laboratory, which perfectly sets the tone for their journey. The lab is complete with a PC, healing station, and three Poké Balls housing starter Pokémon from the original "Red" and "Blue" games. Beyond the lab lies a world teeming with life-sized Pokémon, including Pikachu, Eevee, and other fan-favorite creatures.
One of the park's main attractions is its sprawling Pokémon Forest, where visitors can encounter dozens of life-sized Pokémon in a naturalistic habitat. The area is designed to resemble the overworld from the classic Pokémon games, complete with tall grass, wild Pokémon, and even photo opportunities like cuddling with Pikachu or snapping pictures with Eevee.
As visitors make their way through the forest, they'll notice that each Pokémon is meticulously designed to match its in-game counterpart. The attention to detail is remarkable, making it easy for both casual and hardcore trainers to get lost in the wonder of it all. Every tiny detail transports you into a fully realized Poké-universe, immersing visitors in the world of Pokémon.
Beyond the forest lies Sedge Town, an area filled with Pokémon that are native to the Kanto region. The town is home to various stalls offering food, games, and rides, providing visitors with ample opportunities to socialize and engage with the park's attractions.
Two thrilling rides can be found within the park: Eevee’s Vee Vee Voyage carousel and Pikachu’s Pika Pika Paradise spinner. Visitors of all ages will have a blast exploring these rides, which feature adorable Pokémon that power each attraction.
In addition to its many rides and attractions, PokéPark Kanto features a variety of themed areas, including a dark tunnel filled with Zubats and a gym housing an epic double battle between Gyarados, Raichu, Garchomp, and Tyranitar. The park also boasts an exclusive gift store with unique merchandise and hundreds of plushies.
Tickets for PokéPark Kanto are available at varying price points depending on the date, age, and type of access. Whether you're a seasoned Pokémon trainer or just starting your journey, this immersive facility promises to be a must-visit destination for any fan of the beloved franchise.

I love that there are life-sized Pokémon, rides, and habitats to explore - my little ones will literally feel like they're inside the games! 
I'm also a big fan of how they've recreated Professor Oak's lab, it's so cute 
what's even better is that they have photo ops with all their favorite Pokémon - can't wait for us to take some adorable pics together 
I'm literally drooling thinking about visiting PokéPark Kanto!!! its like they really took all the best parts from the games and put them into one amazing outdoor facility. i mean, who wouldn't want to cuddle with a real-life Pikachu or ride on Eevee's carousel? 
but at the same time, i can see how it would be fun for kids to just run around and play with all the Pokémon.
cant wait to experience this incredible world of Pokémon for myself 
didn't they just hire a bunch of cosplayers to pose as the different pokemon? or is it some kind of super advanced CGI magic? 
also, why is there no Pokémon Gym where you can battle other trainers and earn badges? that's what made the games so fun in the first place. and what's up with all these "exclusive" gift stores? just a bunch of overpriced merchandise, if you ask me...
, but then you look at the prices and you're like "wait, I could've just bought a few thousand Pokémon trading cards instead?" 
, it was literally packed with screaming kids and adults alike. Like, where's the chill? 
The rides are fun, I'll give them that 
, but they're not exactly original or innovative. It's just a bunch of spinning teacups with Pokémon on them 
. And have you tried to take a decent photo with Pikachu without it looking like a total meme? 
. What if it's some kind of mind control experiment to make us love the franchise even more? And those Zubats in the dark tunnel, that's just creepy 
. The whole thing feels like a clever distraction from something bigger... or am I just reading between the lines? 
it was so much fun but also kinda stressful when everything started dying on me 
️
. The whole park feels so immersive, like you're actually in the world of Pokémon. And can we talk about Sedge Town? 
. Worth every penny, defo going back soon 
. I think this park is going to be a game-changer for Pokémon fans of all ages – it's a must-visit destination that's sure to bring joy and excitement to anyone who steps foot inside 
.
Can't wait to visit and experience this Pokémon wonderland for myself! 
. Like, they’ve got Pikachu and Eevee right down to their little fur details and it's seriously mind-blowing. And the attention to detail in the forest is insane - you can even take selfies with the Pokémon! 
. But considering how extensive and immersive the park is, I think it's worth splurging on if you're a true Pokémon enthusiast 
.
