日本首座戶外常設型寶可夢主題樂園——「PokéPark KANTO（寶可樂園：關都）」將於下週，即2026年2月5日，正式在東京近郊的讀賣樂園（Yomiuriland）開園。這座樂園佔地約2.6公頃（26,000平方公尺），以寶可夢經典遊戲《紅/綠》的關都地區為設計靈感，試圖將寶可夢的虛擬世界真實化，讓遊客能夠身歷其境地感受成為訓練家的樂趣。

樂園的核心特色在於其常駐的寶可夢生態系統。據官方預告，園區內將有超過600隻寶可夢「長期居住」，遊客可以像遊戲中的訓練家一樣探索不同區域，觀察牠們的日常行為與生態互動。為了呈現多樣化的體驗，園區被劃分為兩個主要區域：寶可夢森林與草紗鎮。寶可夢森林以蜿蜒的自然步道為特色，遊客能在茂密草叢和山道間尋找隱藏的寶可夢，仿佛置身於遊戲中的探險場景；而草紗鎮則是一個充滿活力的城鎮區，設有商店、餐廳、表演舞台，以及重現經典遊戲場景的寶可夢中心與道館，讓遊客能在城市氛圍中與寶可夢互動。

除了觀察和探索，樂園也推出多樣遊樂設施，增加趣味性與互動性。以伊布家族為主題的旋轉木馬「布伊布伊布步遊」能吸引親子同遊，而皮卡丘主題的空中腳踏車遊樂設施則結合視覺效果與輕量刺激，讓遊客能從空中俯瞰整個園區。園區的門票分為「訓練家通行證」與「精英訓練家通行證」，後者提供專屬表演觀賞權及設施優先搭乘服務。由於首波預售熱烈，甚至造成官方網站短暫當機，顯示出寶可夢品牌在日本及海外粉絲間的強大吸引力。

此外，PokéPark KANTO亦將販售各式園區限定商品與美食，包括限量紀念品、寶可夢造型點心、以及與遊樂設施相關的周邊收藏品，吸引遊客不僅遊玩，也能收藏專屬於園區的寶可夢體驗。整體而言，這座樂園不僅是寶可夢愛好者的朝聖地，也標誌著寶可夢主題實體娛樂體驗邁向戶外常設型的新里程碑。

Japan’s first permanent outdoor Pokémon theme park, PokéPark KANTO, will officially open next week, on February 5, 2026, at Yomiuriland in the suburbs of Tokyo. Covering approximately 2.6 hectares (26,000 square meters), the park draws its design inspiration from the Kanto region in the classic Pokémon Red and Green games, aiming to bring the Pokémon universe into a real-world outdoor setting where visitors can experience the thrill of being a Pokémon Trainer.

A key feature of the park is its resident Pokémon ecosystem. According to official announcements, over 600 Pokémon will permanently inhabit the park, allowing visitors to explore different areas and observe their behaviors and interactions, much like in the games. To enhance the immersive experience, the park is divided into two main zones: Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. Pokémon Forest features winding natural trails where visitors can search for hidden Pokémon amidst dense foliage and mountain paths, creating the feeling of a true in-game adventure. Sedge Town, on the other hand, is a vibrant urban-style area with shops, restaurants, performance stages, and recreated game locations including a Pokémon Center and a Gym, allowing visitors to interact with Pokémon in a city-like environment.

In addition to exploration, the park offers a variety of amusement attractions to increase fun and engagement. A carousel themed around the Eevee family, called “Buibu Eevee Ride,” is designed for families and children, while a Pikachu-themed aerial bicycle ride combines visual spectacle with mild thrills, giving visitors a bird’s-eye view of the entire park. Tickets are available in two categories: the Trainer Pass for general admission and the Elite Trainer Pass, which provides access to exclusive shows and priority access to rides. The initial ticket pre-sale was so popular that it briefly crashed the official website, reflecting Pokémon’s enduring popularity among fans in Japan and abroad.

Furthermore, PokéPark KANTO will offer a range of exclusive merchandise and themed food, including limited-edition collectibles, Pokémon-shaped snacks, and ride-related souvenirs, encouraging visitors not only to play and explore but also to take home a tangible piece of the park experience. Overall, the park represents a milestone for Pokémon-themed entertainment, marking the brand’s first permanent outdoor theme park and offering fans an immersive real-world Pokémon adventure.
