First Permanent Pokémon Theme Park Sets February Opening

First Permanent Pokémon Theme Park Sets February Opening. The Pokémon Company today announced “PokéPark Kanto is set to open on Thursday, February 5, 2026.” Located in Yomiuriland, nestled among the verdant Tama Hills, PokéPark KANTO is the first-ever permanent Pokémon outdoor facility. Here, Pokémon Trainers can embark on the unforgettable adventure as they explore a forest and town filled with more than 600 Pokémon!

American fans will have to keep waiting, as this is exclusive to Japan for the time being. We know folks are waiting for Universal to do something just like this, and as of now, no new or reliable information is available.

Yomiuriland is Tokyo’s largest amusement park. Yomiuriland is situated across Inagi City in Tokyo and Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Nintendo of America announced yesterday that the new “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” trailer is coming!
