The second-floor atrium will host a giant Pikachu riding an airplane balloon, surrounded by a curated collection of 111 Flying-type Pokémon.

Noto Satoyama Airport Rebrands as Global Pokémon Destination
Starting July 7, 2026, Noto Satoyama Airport will undergo a whimsical transformation into the world's first officially branded Pokémon airport. This three-year collaborative project between Ishikawa Prefecture and the Pokémon With You Foundation aims to revitalize the region following the devastating 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Outdoor areas further integrate the franchise into the local landscape, most notably with the Pikachu no Satoyama observation deck. Beyond the terminal, the experience extends to transport, with Hokuriku Tetsudo Group introducing Pokémon-wrapped buses. These vehicles will link the airport to regional landmarks, including the Wakura Pokémon Footbath and the Nymphia with LOVE monument. The initiative is scheduled to run through September 2029, serving as a creative beacon for tourism in the recovering peninsula.
