This Is The ULTIMATE
Pokémon GO Experience
Pokémon GO turned 10 years old this year.
There will be more great events. There will be more Community Days and New Shinies to Hunt.
But there's only one place on earth where Pokémon isn't just a game — it's woven into the culture, the streets, the history itself.
Japan is where it all started.
The real-world Pokémon region. The place where the original 151 came to life. And this November, you could be playing there during the biggest anniversary year in the game's history - across five cities, the full Golden Route, in one of the most visually stunning seasons Japan has to offer.
You'll catch regionals that don't spawn anywhere else on the planet. Walk into Pokémon Centers and grab merch you can't buy back home. Spin PokéStops at ancient shrines while autumn turns everything gold and red around you.
But here's what makes this different from just flying to Japan solo.
You're doing it with 18 people who get it. Who show up for Raid Hour. Who want to trade. Who Love Pokémon like you do.
If you've been saying "maybe I'll go to Japan someday."
This is the 10-year anniversary in the birthplace of Pokémon. Across the full Golden Route. In autumn. With the best group you could possibly play with!
After November 8th, this exact trip is gone. You can visit Japan another time. You can play Pokémon GO another day.
But you can't recreate playing this game were it was born during it's 10th Anniversary.

But Why Japan?
I've played this game daily for six years...
(damn bro touch grass... oh wait)
Community Days across three continents. Major events with thousands of players. Nothing prepared me for Japan in 2024
The moment I hit the streets, raid lobbies were full. Not one or two people — full. Players everywhere, all day. Coordinating in real time. Battling gyms.
The kind of energy I hadn't felt since 2016.
And I went alone.
No group. No coordination. No one to trade with. I came home thinking about how different that experience would be with 18 people who actually get it.
Trainers from different countries, all bringing regionals you'd never get at home. Full raid lobbies you can count on every single time — no begging, no waiting, no half-empty gyms. Lucky trades across the dinner table. Late night shiny hunts with the squad.
People who actually understand why you're excited about a shundo. Who don't need an explanation when you drop everything to go and raid. Who are as invested in your Pokédex as their own.
That's what this trip is.
Five cities. Every major spawn zone, Pokémon Center, and raid hotspot across Japan's Golden Route. A private coach handling every transfer, a professional guide who knows the country, and me making sure every Raid and trade is coordinated.
You just show up and play.
There's a reason Japan is the best place in the world to play Pokémon GO & this trip is how you actually experience it...

What the Past Travelers Have to Say...
What the Past Travelers Have to Say...
"Dax and Poké Mama were amazing hosts. They are a blessing to the Pokémon Go community and extremely helpful throughout our trip in Japan. It would be hard to go with anyone else ❤️"
- Cody Simmons
"Dax (and his Mom) were amazing.... they were kind, fun, and inclusive of everyone. Everyone had such a good time and I felt as though we were all friends right away! They made everyone feel comfortable from the beginning - there was never any "awkward moments" and no one felt like a "stranger" at anytime."
- Tom & Regina Bean
"Both Dax and Poké Mama were so welcoming and happy that everyone came. They both always tried beyond their best to make sure everyone had a good time. Even for me that has English as a second language, they made sure I was comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again somewhere."
- Rasmus Strand
"I have been on two different trips hosted by Daxi. Both times to Japan, some of the absolute best times I have ever had and by far, the best trips I have taken! Meeting so many like minded PoGoers while getting to travel is such a unique experience. I made life long friends on these trips, I will definitely be going again in the future!"
- Joshua Daniels
"Dax and Christel were an absolute delight. I was struck by how they effortlessly connected with each person, sharing a memorable moment with everyone. I truly cherish the time we spent together, and I’m grateful to have been a part of their first japan trip. I hope to see them again in the future, perhaps on another Pokémon adventure!"
- Roldaniel Jimenez
"My experience on the PokeDaxi Japan trips were the best experience I could have ever asked for. It was the perfect opportunity for me to break out of my shell and explore a new world, just like you would in the world of Pokemon. It was an adventure of a lifetime and I would HIGHLY recommend any Pokémon GO player to take that leap and join a wonderful community in travelling abroad. You will NOT regret it"

Dietary requirements are collected at booking and communicated to restaurants along the way. Japan's major cities are widely accommodating, but always double-check if you have a serious allergy -- we cannot guarantee every supplier can cater to every request.

Free to depart at any time on the final day from Kansai International Airport (KIX).
Travel insurance is required and must be arranged independently. At minimum your policy should cover medical expenses, trip cancellation, repatriation, and lost or delayed luggage.
Arrange this as soon as the trip is confirmed. Visit the Best In Travel Insurance Guide for recommended providers.
Transfers are not included -- you will need to arrange your own transport. Pre-booked transfers are available via Expedia Airport Transportation.
Wait until your trip is Confirmed before booking flights, unless you can secure fully flexible tickets. The trip is currently Pending -- you will be notified in writing once confirmed, no later than 75 days before departure.
Additional nights cannot be organised on your behalf. Hotels are finalised roughly 2--3 months before departure -- once confirmed, you are welcome to book extra nights independently.
It is your responsibility to ensure your passport meets minimum validity requirements and that any required visas are arranged before arrival. Full info in the Japan Destination Guide.
Dietary requirements are collected at booking and communicated to restaurants along the way. Japan's major cities are widely accommodating, but always double-check if you have a serious allergy.
The standard price includes shared accommodation -- you will be paired with another guest based on similar interests.
Private rooms are available for $799 USD extra. Limited -- secure one early at the time of booking.
Deposit -- due within 7 days of booking.
Instalments -- your schedule will be included in your booking confirmation.
Final payment -- full balance due at least 75 days before departure.
Review the full Booking Terms & Conditions before you book -- these cover deposits, payment schedules, and cancellation policies.
If the trip is still Pending when you cancel -- full refund of everything paid.
If the trip is Confirmed:
All cancellations must be submitted in writing. See full Booking T&Cs.
If minimum numbers are not reached, the trip may be cancelled or re-costed. If re-costed, you will have 14 days to accept the new price or cancel for a full refund. You will be notified no later than 75 days before departure.
If any issues arise, speak directly with your host or local guide. Emergency contact details will be provided before departure. See the Issues & Emergencies Guide.
Group trips work best when everyone travels with respect and the right balance of fun and responsibility. Visit the Traveller Conduct & Wellbeing Guide.

If you’ve made it to the bottom of this page, chances are you really want to go on this trip, but something’s holding you back. And I get it. Japan feels like a big trip…
But here's the thing — if there's ever a year to do this, it's 2026.
Pokémon GO turned 10 this year. It's the 30th anniversary of Pokémon itself. And Wild Area in Japan is going to be the biggest one yet.
This isn't just another trip — this is the year for anyone who actually loves this game. If you've been playing since launch, if you've ever thought "I want to experience Pokémon GO in Japan"
This is that moment.
I'm not trying to convince you to do something you don't want to do. But if you've been sitting on this idea for months (or years), and you've been waiting for the right time... this is it.
You won't have to figure anything out. The hotels are booked. The guide knows the city. The coach is set. You literally just show up, and we'll take care of the rest.
And you won't be doing it alone. You'll have 18 people who get it.
If you're on the fence, just ask yourself this: A year from now, are you going to wish you went?
Can't Wait to See You in Japan.
