Get ready for an exciting adventure, Pokemon fans! The highly anticipated PokePark Kanto, Japan's first-ever permanent outdoor Pokemon theme park, is set to open its doors on February 5, 2026. But here's where it gets controversial... The park's location within Yomiuriland amusement park in Tokyo has sparked debates among fans. Some argue that it's a dream come true, while others question the choice of venue. And this is the part most people miss... PokePark Kanto spans a massive 2.6 hectares, offering an immersive experience like no other. The park is divided into two distinct zones: Sedge Town and the Pokemon Forest. In the forest, visitors can embark on a 500-meter nature trail, observing Pokemon in their natural habitat. Sedge Town, on the other hand, promises an immersive town experience within the Pokemon universe. Fans can expect to encounter over 600 Pokemon throughout the park. But the ticket system adds another layer of intrigue. Two ticket types will be available: The Ace Trainer's Pass and the Trainer's Pass. The Ace Trainer's Pass grants access to both zones at any time, along with exclusive perks like meet-and-greets and priority attraction lanes. The Trainer's Pass offers unlimited entry to Sedge Town and a single, timed entry to the Pokemon Forest. A third pass, the Town Pass, will provide access to Sedge Town only and is set to launch in summer 2026. For Japanese residents, tickets will be sold via a lottery system, with registration opening on November 21, 2025. International ticket sales details are yet to be announced, so keep an eye on the park's official ticket information page for updates. So, are you ready to embark on this Pokemon adventure?
