Noto Satoyama Pokémon With You Airport reopening
Tuesday 7th July, 2026
Noto Satoyama Airport in Ishikawa Prefecture will reopen on 7 July 2026 as “Noto Satoyama Pokémon with You Airport,” featuring Pokémon-themed signage, installations and events running through to 30 September 2029 to boost regional tourism and support post-disaster revitalisation. This gives Lego’s PR team a chance to join the travel-and-family narrative around creative, family-friendly play experiences in Japan and beyond, especially relevant to discussions about tourism recovery and destination experiences that appeal to families and collectors in key markets like the UK, Europe and Asia.
Why have we flagged this?
The themed airport ties neatly into family travel, play and collectibles — areas where Lego has credibility; a well-timed campaign or collaboration (pop-up build events, travel‑friendly Lego sets, family activity packs, or comment on play tourism) could win coverage, though it’s not a direct brand fit like Pokémon itself.
