Heads-up, Pokémon fans! The Pokémon Company announced on Thursday, July 1 that they are opening Pokémon Wonder, a new forest theme park in Japan that will let guests explore the charm of Pokémon and the beauty of nature at the same time.
Located behind Yomiuriland, the largest amusement park in Tokyo, Pokémon Wonder is built on a 4,500-square meter forest that has remained untouched for 20 years.
The park is filled with grasslands, bamboo groves, and a wide variety of flora where miniature Pokémon figures are in wait for guests to find them. Instead of computer-animated imagery or stuffed animals, the figures are handcrafted in a way that harmonizes with nature. They are made from organic materials such as wood and leaves.
The park’s main attraction takes guests on an immersive nature adventure as a “Pokémon researcher,” where they are tasked by a fictional character named Dr. Creso to spot over 50 different kinds of Pokémon by surveying the vast grasslands, tall trees, and shallow ponds.
According to Kotaku, are oriented on what to do and are given a print-out with clues.
According to the official website, the park allows up to six people to participate at the same time. For 90 minutes, the participants can look for Pokémon in three different areas: Wonderfield, Ancient Stone Wall, and Whispering Bamboo Grove.
Pokémon Wonder is set to open on July 17 and will run until April 3, 2022 at Yomiuriland. – with reports from John Patrick Magno Ranara/Rappler.com
