What Is PokéPark KANTO?
PokéPark KANTO is a permanent outdoor Pokémon attraction inside Yomiuriland. Explore the Pokémon Forest, where you can walk through nature, and Sedge Town, where Pokémon and Trainers gather. You can enjoy the world of Pokémon in both the forest and the town.
Ticket prices vary depending on the date, and each ticket type includes access to different areas and experiences. Check the official website for ticket availability and purchasing details before planning your visit.
Why Visit in a School Uniform?
Match your outfits with friends
Wearing school uniforms together gives your photos a coordinated look. You can wear matching outfits from head to toe, or simply coordinate your jackets or ribbons for a subtler look.
Add your favorite Pokémon’s colors
Try adding a touch of yellow or red, or create a fresh look with blue or green. A school uniform makes it easy to incorporate your favorite colors into your outfit.
Make your theme park photos extra special
Photos of you in a school uniform look different from everyday outfit photos, especially with the theme park and natural scenery in the background. The time you spend wearing the uniform can become part of the memory, too.
Korean School Uniform Outfit Ideas Inspired by Pokémon
Instead of dressing up as a character, choose a school uniform inspired by your favorite Pokémon’s colors or overall feel. You and your friends can each choose different colors and still create photos that look coordinated.
A yellow look inspired by Pikachu
Add yellow accessories or a yellow ribbon for a bright, cheerful look. Yellow really stands out when paired with a black or gray jacket.
A brown look inspired by Eevee
Build your outfit around brown and beige for a soft, gentle look. These subdued colors also blend beautifully into photos.
A blue look inspired by Water-type Pokémon
Combine blue, navy, and white for a fresh, clean look. This style is also cute when friends wear different shades of blue.
At Yangiri, you can put together an outfit with a jacket, shirt, vest, skirt or pants, ribbon or tie, and socks. Choose a look that suits your own style and favorite colors.
Photo Ideas for Your Visit
Stand together in coordinated outfits
Line up for a photo in matching uniforms or outfits with coordinated ribbons. For a full-length shot, step back far enough to include your shoes.
Pose as if you’ve spotted a Pokémon
Turn your gaze toward a Pokémon or point in its direction. Natural reactions help capture the excitement of your day out.
Take a photo from behind with the scenery
Stand side by side with your friends and take a photo from behind with the forest or town in the background. It’s a lovely way to capture both your uniform silhouettes and the scenery.
Take close-up shots of your hands and accessories
Try a close-up holding your tickets, merchandise, or color-coordinated accessories. These details make a nice contrast to your full-length photos.
