Japan Opens the World's First Pokémon-Themed Airport

Japan's Noto Airport, located in Ishikawa Prefecture, has undergone a complete rebranding to become the world's first Pokémon-themed airport. The project was launched as part of a regional recovery initiative following the devastating earthquake that struck the area.

The airport has been renamed Noto Satoyama Pokémon with You Airport. It is currently the only airport in the world to officially incorporate the Pokémon brand into its name.

The initiative aims to attract more visitors to the Noto Peninsula and help boost the local tourism industry. The airport's Pokémon-themed experience is scheduled to remain in place until September 30, 2029.

The airport features a variety of themed attractions, including:

• Artwork depicting 111 Flying-type Pokémon throughout the terminal interior.
• A giant central Pikachu hot air balloon installation featuring Pikachu piloting an airplane.
• 12 themed photo spots for visitors, including nine inside the terminal and three outdoors.

In addition to the visual redesign, travelers can enjoy several exclusive experiences. Visitors will have access to exclusive video content, special Pokémon-themed menu items at airport restaurants, and limited-edition merchandise available only at the airport.

Previously, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
