step inside the immersive pokémon center in okinawa
Designed by I IN, this new center in Okinawa is a hub for all things Pokémon. Stepping inside, visitors are met by an open-plan circular enclosure and continuous floor space resembling the architecture of an imaginary world while evoking the caverns and landscape of the Pokémon universe. ‘[It] is designed to give visitors the impression of stepping into a video game’, writes the studio. The center features a store, a gaming space, and an information center where the curious can get the latest character and game news.
