1. Pokémon Forest
Pokémon Forest is a forest where wild Pokémon live. It features a lush walking path about 500 meters long, filled with varied terrain such as uneven grassy areas, tunnels, and mountain trails. The Pokémon living here are all full of life, running around, battling, sharing berries, and more. Each Pokémon has its own unique expressions, which is another highlight. At Pokémon Forest, take your time observing the ecology of Pokémon, mainly from the Kanto region! Some Pokémon can even be ridden on their backs. Try to find them!
*Due to stairs and steep uphill paths, children under 5 are not allowed to enter, even with an accompanying adult.
Sedge Town is a lively town where Trainers and Pokémon from all over the world gather. Just past the Primarina Fountain that welcomes you, you’ll find familiar spots from the games like the Pokémon Center and the Poké Mart. Just like in the games, you can heal your Pokémon and enjoy original drinks that help both Pokémon and Trainers recover from their adventures.
The original drinks include Squirtle’s Water Gun Drink, Charmander’s Ember Drink, and Bulbasaur’s Razor Leaf Drink. These three drinks are inspired by each Pokémon using its moves, and they can be purchased at the Poké Mart.
At the Trainers’ Market, rows of wagons line the street, offering fun goods to enhance your adventure and a variety of Pokémon-themed foods.
You can also enjoy two attractions in Sedge Town. Pika Pika Paradise is a ride powered by electric-type Pokémon. At the merry-go-round featuring Eevee and its friends, Vee Vee Voyage, you can enjoy the feeling of traveling around the world together with Pokémon.
There’s also a parade where Pikachu and Eevee march through the town, as well as a stage show at Sedge Gym. At the Pokémon Playhouse, you can enjoy daily rotating meet-and-greets with different Pokémon. *Some require a timed entry ticket after entering Yomiuriland.
