The 2019 Pikachu Outbreak kicks off this week, which means packs of Pikachus will once again be hanging out in the Minato Mirai neighborhood of Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city and roughly 20 minutes south of Tokyo.
The Pikachu Outbreak breaks out on August 6, and continues until August 12.
Follow Casey on Twitter, where he’s filled with pride that Pikachu chooses to visit his city every summer.
The closest performance to Minato Mirai Station, Minato Mirai City combines LED-costumed Pikachu dancers with projection mapping of the Yokohama Museum of Art, and is held in the Grand Mall plaza between the museum and the Mark Is shopping center.
