Nintendo Museum

The Nintendo Museum is a must visit for any Nintendo fan or video game lover, and I had a fun experience going opening month (Oct. 2024)!  What to expect in Nintendo Museum: Interactive games, an entire floor of Nintendo hardware and games exhibits, exclusive merchandise, a hamburger store, a craft activity, and lots of easter eggs!  Booking:  Tickets are distributed via a lottery system, but don't lose hope even if you are unlucky. I initially did not win the lottery, but watched for ticket release via the Nintendo Museum account  (Japanese and English versions on x/twitter), and was able to get tickets on a day that worked. The purchase process required getting a call from an international number and filling out info within 15 minutes, and then reserving a timeslot and paying 3,300 yen per ticket.  I recommend going on a weekday, as weekends and holidays are especially harder to get a ticket.  Getting there:  From Kyoto it is a bit closer, Osaka too...
