Pokémon Center Yokohama Satellite Store Opens April 9th, 2026
The Pokémon Company has announced a new retail outlet for fans in Yokohama, Japan. The Pokémon Center Yokohama Satellite store is set to open on April 9th, 2026, offering local Trainers a place to pick up official merchandise and stay updated on all things Pokémon.
Location and Setup
The new store will be located on the 2nd floor of the Joinus building near the west exit of Yokohama Station, one of the city’s busiest transport hubs. As a satellite store, it will be smaller in size compared to a full‑fledged Pokémon Center, but it will still carry a wide selection of products and experiences that fans expect.
Customers can look forward to:
- A curated range of Pokémon merchandise, including plush toys, apparel, accessories, stationery, and seasonal goods
- A video screen broadcasting the latest Pokémon news and trailers
- Exclusive items and promotional displays relevant to the region and upcoming releases
What to Expect from a Satellite Store
While not as large as flagship Pokémon Center locations, satellite stores usually deliver on the essentials:
- Popular merch staples: Pikachu plush, anniversary collections, TCG products, and seasonal lines
- Regional exclusives: Yokohama‑themed items may appear over time, especially around major holidays or local events
- Interactive elements: Screens and displays that spotlight new game trailers and animated content
Pokémon Japan has a strong track record of making each store feel unique and engaging, whether it’s a full Center or a satellite location. With recent expansions as part of the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations, there’s good reason to be excited about what the Yokohama store will offer.
Pokémon Centers Across Japan
With this new location, Pokémon Center Yokohama Satellite continues the brand’s broad footprint throughout Japan, where specialty Pokémon retail destinations remain fan gathering spots and merch hubs. The satellite store adds accessibility for fans in the greater Yokohama area and visitors passing through one of the region’s busiest stations.
As opening day approaches, more details about exclusive products and store features are likely to be revealed.
