Universal Studios Japan (USJ) and The Pokémon Company have teamed up to deliver an unforgettable summer experience. This article details the exciting water-themed parade featuring beloved Pokémon characters.
USJ's NO LIMIT! Summer Splash Parade: A Water-Soaked Adventure
Get Ready to Get Wet!
Expanding on the popular NO LIMIT! Parade, the Summer Splash Parade adds a refreshing twist: water! This immersive experience builds upon the successful 2021 partnership between these entertainment giants, a collaboration designed to create innovative and engaging interactive entertainment. The original parade featured iconic Pokémon like Pikachu and Charizard; this year's event takes it to a whole new level of wet and wild fun.
The Pokémon Company's dedication to realism is evident, particularly in Gyarados' impressive debut. Three performers work in perfect synchronization to bring the powerful Pokémon to life with a captivating dragon-like performance.
Prepare to get soaked! The parade isn't limited to Pokémon; beloved characters from Super Mario, Despicable Me, Sesame Street, Peanuts, and Sing also join the watery fun.
But you're not just a passive observer; you're part of the action! On particularly hot days, head to the 360° Soak Zone for a full-on water fight with friends, family, and parade performers. While personal water guns are not allowed, a complimentary Water Shooter is provided upon entry.
Beyond the spectacular parade, USJ offers exclusive Pokémon merchandise and themed food and beverages. Highlights include the "Gyarados Whirling Smoothie – Soda & Pineapple," served in a uniquely large cup featuring a striking Gyarados design. A variety of other summer-themed food and drinks are also available.
The parade runs from July 3rd to September 1st, while the 360° Soak Zone is available until August 22nd. Whether it's your first visit or a return trip, The Pokémon Company promises an exciting, memorable, and deeply moving experience.
