Summer is the time for adventure. In Osaka, Japan, the “Pokémon Discovery Hunt” (ポケモン発見大作戦) is here to keep every trainer busy!
From July 1 to October 31, 2025, Osaka Station City and Ume-kita transform into a real-world Poké-map filled with characters and photo spots big and small. Everywhere we look — rooftop gardens, shopping plazas, quiet corners of the station — Pokémon are waiting to be found.
For those who can’t make it to Osaka…
Grab a piece of the adventure with our exclusive Pokémon finds handpicked in Japan!

Ready to dive into the World of Pokemon… in real life?
We spent the whole afternoon roaming the venue, which stretches from Osaka Station City all the way to Umekita Green Place, Grand Front Osaka, and Grand Green Osaka.
With up to 30 hidden Pokémon locations, we (sadly) couldn’t catch them all in the time we had—but the thrill of the hunt made every discovery a blast.
