Pokémon has announced its plans to open a mini-theme park called PokéPark Kanto inside the already-existing Yomiuriland Theme Park.
Yomiuriland is on the border between Tokyo and Kanagawa and is known for water rides in the summer and illuminations in the winter.
No date or year for the opening was given.
(And in case you missed it our recent video about all the current Pokémon centers in Tokyo https://youtu.be/RmltOywUdmA )

Take a look if you haven't already and let us know your embarrassing mistakes story! 😆
