Poké Lids list by prefecture

What is a Poké Lid?

A Poké Lid (ポケふた, Pokéfuta in Japanese) is a utility hole cover decorated with Pokémon, made by The Pokémon Company together with a city or town. The project started in December 2018 and has spread to almost every corner of Japan since. Every lid is a one-of-a-kind design: no two are the same, and most show a Pokémon that fits the place, from a sea Pokémon on a fishing port to a snow Pokémon up north.

They are real covers in real streets, parks and stations. You do not need a ticket or an app to see them: you walk up, look down, and there it is. PokéStamps is the fan game built on top of that: find a lid, tap "I got it!", add your photo, and your trainer card fills up. Here is how it works.

You will see the name written in many ways: Poké Lids, Pokélids, pokelids, Pokéfuta, Pokémon manhole covers. They all mean the same thing, and this page lists every one of them.

How many Poké Lids are there?

As of October 2026 there are 482 Poké Lids in Japan, spread over 42 of the 47 prefectures. By region:

• Hokkaido and Tohoku: 178 lids
• Kyushu and Okinawa: 78 lids
• Chugoku and Shikoku: 74 lids
• Kinki: 62 lids
• Chubu: 57 lids
• Kanto: 33 lids

Hokkaido alone has 50 lids, the most of any prefecture, followed by Fukushima (43), Miyagi (37), Iwate (36), Mie (31) and Miyazaki (26). The north is by far the richest hunting ground. Over 500 different Pokémon appear on the lids, and 391 lids show more than one.

Which prefectures have no Poké Lid yet?

Five prefectures are still waiting for their first lid: Gunma, Yamanashi, Hiroshima, Kumamoto and Oita. New lids are unveiled a few times a year, so this list shrinks over time. We update the catalog as soon as a new lid is announced.

Where it all started

The first Poké Lids appeared in Ibusuki, Kagoshima, in December 2018: nine covers showing Eevee and each of its evolutions, scattered around the city. They are still the only lids in the prefecture, and they make a perfect first hunt: nine designs within one small town.

How this list works

The list is sorted by region, then by prefecture. Each prefecture page shows its lids in official order, and each lid page gives you the exact location, a Google Maps link, the Pokémon on it, the nearest other lids, and the trainers who found it. Prefer a map? Every lid is on the street map. Sign in to stamp the lids you visit, collect prefecture badges, and climb the Hall of Fame.
