PokéPark map
The Pokémon Company describes PokéPark Kanto as “the first permanent outdoor Pokémon attraction.” It occupies roughly 6.4 acres of Yomuiriland. (Note: PokéPark is completely separate from the recently announced “Pokémon” experiences in development for Universal theme parks.)
PokéPark Kanto is divided into three sections: PokéPark Entrance Plaza, Pokémon Forest, and Sedgetown.
From the PokéPark Entrance Plaza, guests begin their journey at the Pokémon Research Lab. It’s here where visitors can stop by the Pokémon Daisuki Shop.
Pokémon Forest
In Pokémon Forest, guests can spot Pokémon in their natural habitat. In total, guests will find over 600 Pokémon throughout PokéPark. Guests must be at least five years old to enter Pokémon Forest.
Sedge Town
Sedge Town, “the town of your dreams,” is where Pokémon and Trainers meet up within this Pokémon theme park land and where the majority of attractions are located.
The two rides of PokéPark are both in Sedge Town: Pika Pika Paradise (a Dumbo-style Pikachu ride) and Vee Vee Voyage (a carousel ride).
“Pika Pika Sparks!” is a stage show performed at Sedge Gym.
PokéPark will host several character meet & greets. Guests can meet Pikachu and Eevee in the Pikachu and Eevee Playroom inside Sedge Condominiums.
Meanwhile Psyduck (pictured below), Clefairy, Vulpix, Growlithe, Slowpoke, Gengar, Lapras, and Dragonite will greet guests at Pokémon Playhouse.
“Pikachu and Eevee Bubble Carnival” is a parade making its way through Sedge Town.
Poké Mart sells specialty themed drinks.
‘A space where Pokémon will always be’
“Pokémon has grown so much thanks to lots of support from many people, so we wanted to make a place everyone could come together and enjoy,” said Junichi Masada, chief creative fellow of The Pokémon Company, “a space where Pokémon will always be, and where people and Pokémon can have fun together.
PokéPark was previously the name of a temporary attraction in Nagoya, Japan and Taipei, Tawain in the mid-2000s.
