Poképark Kanto – Japan’s Real-Life Pokémon Theme Park is Coming

Posted on December 23, 2023February 4, 2024 by Claire

Pokémon fans will know that the original Pokémon Red, Blue, Green and Yellow games are set in the Kanto region of the Pokémon world, while in the real world, the Kanto region refers to the eastern part of Japan’s main island, i.e. where Tokyo can be found.

And now we have the exciting news that the real and digital world are merging! A real-world Poképark is being built!

Details aren’t really available at the moment, other than the Pokémon Company announcing its partnership with Tokyo amusement park Yomiuriland, but they have said this:

“We will be producing a place where Pokémon fans from around the world can gather in a lush natural environment and enjoy Pokémon in a way that transcends the barriers of country, region, and language.“

While we’re waiting for more updates, you can hunt your own Pokémon around Japan.
