About this site

Minna no Pokémon GO (minpoke.net) is a Japanese fan site about Pokémon GO that has been running since 2016. Our Japanese pages cover daily news, events and community discussion for players in Japan.

This English section is for Pokémon fans who live outside Japan or are planning a trip here. We focus on things that are hard to find in English: Poké Lids (Pokémon manhole covers), regional spots, and practical tips for playing while traveling in Japan.

How we write

• Facts such as places, opening hours and event dates are checked against official sources (The Pokémon Company, Niantic, local governments and tourism boards). Sources are listed at the end of each article.
• Opening hours and events can change. Please check the official website before you go.
• Some articles contain advertising. Links that are ads are marked “PR”.
