2. Pokemon Forest: A 500m Nature Exploration Field
The heart of Pokepark Kanto is the Pokemon Forest, a 500-meter (approx. 0.3-mile) outdoor exploration area. Utilizing the natural hills, this zone allows you to witness Pokemon in their “wild” state—running, battling, and sharing berries.
The exploration takes approximately 60 minutes. Because the terrain is natural and unpaved, this is a true Nature Adventure focused on observation and discovery.
Important Admission Info:
A “Trainer’s Pass” or “Elite Trainer’s Pass” is required for entry.
Due to steep slopes and natural terrain, groups with children under 5 years old are restricted from entering for safety reasons.
We strongly recommend wearing stylish yet functional outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear (sneakers or hiking boots).
3. Kayatsuri Town: A Social Hub for Trainers and Pokemon
After exploring the forest, you will arrive at Kayatsuri Town, a bustling urban area centered around a Primarina (Ashirene) fountain. This zone is designed as a Dream-like Cityscape where humans and Pokemon live together.
Pokemon Center A relaxation hub where Chansey (Lucky) greets you. You can watch Pokemon being healed at the iconic “Healing Machine” while browsing for souvenirs.
Friendly Shop (Cafe & Drinks) This cafe serves original themed drinks perfect for high-end travelers needing a stylish refresh between adventures.
Kayatsuri Gym This Electric-type themed gym hosts daily live stage shows. It offers High-quality Entertainment where guests can participate alongside the Pokemon.

Trainer’s Market This is an open-air market with stalls selling various goods. Keep an eye out for unscheduled “Greetings” (character appearances) and parades.
