New ‘Pokémon’ forest theme park in Tokyo is a real life ‘Safari Zone’

July 8, 2021

A new forest theme park opening soon in Tokyo will be a complete paradise for Pokémon fans.

Poké habitat: Those who have been wanting to unleash their inner Pokémon trainers will soon be able to visit Pokémon Wonder, reported Kotaku.

Pokémon Wonder will open its doors on July 17 at a spot behind Yomiuriland, the largest amusement park in Tokyo. It will run until April 3, 2022.
The park is situated on an actual 4,500-square-meter (48,400-square-foot) forest in Inagi, which has remained untouched for two decades, according to the park’s website.
Made from organic materials, over 50 Pokémon figures are hidden and scattered around the park for the guests to discover.

Gotta find ’em all: Guests can take on an immersive adventure as a “Pokémon researcher” and be tasked with spotting different Pokémon in the area.

As the figures are not as colorful as their anime and plushie toy counterparts, they can blend well in nature and spotting them can be tricky.
Parkgoers can take in the beauty of nature as they hunt for the Pokémon hidden in three different areas within the park.
Participants are given 90 minutes to locate the figures in Wonder Field, Ancient Stone Wall and Whispering Bamboo Grove.
