Let’s get straight to the point. According to the official announcement from The Pokémon Company, ticket sales for ‘PokéPark KANTO’ are scheduled to begin sequentially around the fall of 2025.
Specific dates, ticket prices, and purchasing methods (such as an online lottery or a first-come, first-served basis) have not yet been announced. We will have to wait for future official updates for these details.
Is a Ticket Scramble Inevitable? What to Prepare Before Reservations Open
For a park dedicated to the globally popular Pokémon—and its first “permanent” one at that—it’s expected that tickets for the initial opening period will be subject to a fierce scramble. To avoid panicking when reservations finally open, we’ve thought of a few things you can do to prepare now.
Don’t Miss Official Info! Check Social Media and Official Websites
Detailed information about tickets is most likely to be announced on the official website and social media channels. Although a dedicated site is not yet open, following the official X (formerly Twitter) accounts of The Pokémon Company and Yomiuriland now will help you catch the information as soon as it’s released.
What Kind of Tickets Will Be Sold? A Prediction
While there’s no official announcement yet, based on general theme park trends, the following types of tickets might be available:
✅ 1-DAY Passport
The basic one-day admission ticket. It’s likely to be sold for a specific date.
✅ Grand Opening Commemorative Ticket
A special ticket that includes exclusive merchandise might be sold for a limited time during the opening period.
✅ Annual Pass / Season Pass
For fans who want to visit many times, there’s a possibility of annual or seasonal passes being offered.
