Trip to “Nintendo KYOTO” | New sightseeing spots in Kyoto!
After staying at a capsule hotel in Kyoto in the previous video, I stopped by “Nijo-jo Castle”, a World Heritage Site nearby. And then, I went to “Kyoto International Manga Museum”, which I had wanted to visit once. This is the first manga museum and library in Japan,
There is a fee of 6.5$, but you can see almost all the manga published in Japan. This is the only place in Japan. Since it is forbidden to take movies inside, I only share everyone’s favorite “gacha”… 🙏 OK, I’m off to have fun 📚. Well, that was fun 😁.
I had plans after this, so I stayed only about an hour. There were so many interesting comics that I didn’t have enough time to read them all. I’ve come to the heart of Kyoto, “Kyoto Kawaramachi station” in Shijo. From here it is a 5 minute walk, through entrance 10 of the Shijo-dori underpass.
Heading toward today’s destination, “NINTENDO KYOTO” 💨 This is exit 10 next to the Burberry store. Let’s sneak in quickly: 🐱👤 As soon as I went down underground, I see a mural of a “Mario” game stage right in front of me! This is awesome😆
Not only the mural but also the background music of the game is faithfully reproduced The tension is exploding even before arriving at the store! The background music also changes to match the stage of the mural on the side… 😲😲. “NINTENDO KYOTO” can be reached from the ground, but…
If you go through the underpass, you will surely get to the store in the best mood👍 This underpass mural seems to be installed for a limited time only. I strongly recommend that you go through it at least once before it is removed! What’s the crowd at the end of this passageway?
This crowd was a line for another restaurant… On the left side, they were handing out numbered admission tickets. I got a numbered admission ticket without incident! I’m so glad I got a ticket! This queue looks like the queue for a famous store in the Depart basement, but I’m in a hurry 😅
I was able to get a numbered ticket in the latest time. I decided to head for the store anyway This is “Kyoto Takashimaya” where “NINTENDO KYOTO” is located. Going up the escalator to the 7th floor. Oh, I can see the store in front of me! I have arrived at “NINTENDO KYOTO”!
It is also the place that opened in October 2023, There was quite a line just to get in. I was able to enter the store anyway, but there were so many people 😨. The staff is also frantically calling out for help I’m going to start with the openings. Aquarium of popular game “Pikmin”
There is also a corner where you can actually experience Nintendo games Many families were waiting for their turn. “Mario” characters are beautifully displayed😍. I would love to have a collection like this in my own home… Famous game “Legend of Zelda” corner
Other than key chains and so on, clothes and bags are sold unusually This shirt or something like it looks like something you could normally wear to work: 👨💼 Beautiful mushrooms 🍄 I never get tired of looking at the characters in “Mario”! What happens when I push this switch?
Of course, it doesn’t turn into coins. 🤦♂️ If you like Japanese games, this is the place to stop by without hesitation 🤗 In fact, this “NINTENDO KYOTO” has not only a sales area, but also There are two areas where we can take pictures. When I go up the escalator
There are many NINTENDO character murals here, too. What is beyond this point? Oh, what a surprise 😲 “Mario”‘s goal scene was recreated! Staff takes a picture with Mario. I had my picture taken afterwards too😙. The casually placed benches are also a great piece of work ✨
You can visit for free even if you don’t buy anything down there, so be sure to go! Lastly, I heard there is a giant “Mario” statue on the first floor, so I’m going to go see it! I find it immediately! Great 😮. “Mario” stands out from the crowd with his big power 😅
We can go and see this place alone, but the staff will take a photo for us. I got a good two-shot photo of “Mario” too 📷 I think this might be a good time to visit because there are not many people yet and you can take your time.
Thank you for watching to the end! If you are a game lover and you are going to visit Kyoto in Japan… I hope this video will help you! See you again in the next video 👋
After staying at a new capsule hotel that opened in Kyoto the day before, I went to “Nintendo KYOTO”, which opened on the 7th floor of Kyoto Takashimaya, a department store in Kyoto on November 17, 2023.
Many goods featuring “Super Mario” and other characters appearing in Nintendo games are sold here, making this facility a must-visit for anyone who loves games.
There is also a spot where you can take a commemorative photo with “Mario” for free, which is sure to be a souvenir of your visit to Kyoto, where Nintendo’s headquarters are located.
Thank you for watching!
