PokéPark Kanto is a Pokémon-branded theme park within Yomiuriland that opened to the public on February 5, 2026. The park is located in the Tama area. The theme park is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Yomiuriland. The name was chosen in reference to the fictional Kanto Region, the setting of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, which was inspired by the real-world Kantō region that Yomiuriland itself is also located in.
In a press release, PokéPark Kanto was described as "a theme park where visitors can enjoy the Pokémon experience in a lush natural environment through various events". It includes a Pokémon forest you walk through, a central hub known as Sedge Town and shows/parades.
Other collaborations with Yomiuri In 2009, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, one of the Yomiuri group companies, collaborated with The Pokémon Company to create a Pokémon-themed educational children's column named "Let's memorize a proverb encyclopedia with Pokémon!" ("Pokemon to Issho ni Oboeyo! Kotowaza Daihyakka" in its original Japanese).
In 2014, a gaming event named "The Pokémon Ryuosen" was held at Yomiuriland.
Yomiuriland collaborated with The Pokémon Company to create "Pokémon Wonder", an event that was launched in 2021. In the event, people were given 90 minutes to find handcrafted Pokémon figurines that were hidden in a forest. Pokémon Wonder was open briefly in 2021 and from April to July 2023.
