# Pokémon Pokopia’s IKEA Japan Event: What the Collaboration Included
IKEA Japan partnered with **Pokémon Pokopia** for a limited event celebrating IKEA’s 20th year in Japan. Participating stores displayed rooms inspired by Pikachu and Snorlax, while the game featured an IKEA Island designed around the same themes.
The store event ran from April 1 through May 10, 2026. Access to IKEA Island remained available in Pokémon Pokopia until June 30, 2026. Both parts of the promotion have now ended.
## How players visited IKEA Island
IKEA’s official event page says the physical room displays included an in-game “address.” Players could enter that address in Pokémon Pokopia’s virtual mode to visit IKEA Island. The promotion did not require players to scan the physical rooms or import furniture by scanning a display.
IKEA interior designers created two featured spaces for the collaboration. The Pikachu room used an open layout and colorful children’s products with mushroom and leaf motifs. The Snorlax room centered on a sleeping area, with nearby dining space and storage designed around the Pokémon’s relaxed personality.
The same room concepts appeared in IKEA stores across Japan. Depending on the location, a store displayed one or both designs. IKEA Okayama was excluded from the event.
## The wider in-store campaign
IKEA Japan also ran a seven-stop stamp rally from April 18 through May 10. Visitors could collect Pokémon stamps and learn facts about IKEA while moving through participating stores. IKEA Family members who met the purchase requirement could receive a promotional sticker and enter a prize draw while supplies lasted.
These activities were part of a regional, time-limited campaign. IKEA did not announce a permanent line of Pokémon furniture through this event, and the promotion should not be treated as evidence that Pokémon Pokopia is becoming a general platform for outside brands.
## What remains available
The store displays, stamp rally and in-game island access have ended. This page remains as an archive of the collaboration and its dates. Players looking for current Pokémon Pokopia events should check official Pokémon, Nintendo and regional partner channels before relying on old access details.
