Simultaneously, the "Gyarados Plaza by Pokemon Center Hiroshima" will debut on March 24, 2025, on the rooftop of Soramoa Plaza, located in the new Hiroshima Station building (Minamoa). This playground features large Gyarados-themed play equipment, promising fun for all ages. Initially, reservations may be required to use the playground equipment; details will be announced on the official Minamoa website.
