I visited [Nintendo Museum] in Uji, Kyoto! How to make a reservation, admission fee and access!

The Nintendo Museum] will open in Uji and Kokura, Kyoto on October 2, 2024 (Wednesday). Tickets for the new facility, which is attracting attention not only from Osaka, Kyoto and other Kinki areas but also from overseas, are currently being sold by lottery. The Leaf editorial department has infiltrated such a hot spot! Here is an early look at what kind of things you can enjoy, along with our impressions of the actual experience, including its contents and limited-edition goods!

Other features include Love Tester SP, where two people hold hands and try various tests to raise their love level, Game & Watch SP, where you control the game using your shadow on a giant screen, and NES, Super NES, and NINTENDO 64 software with controllers for each game console.

12. Take a break and enjoy an original burger of your choice at the HATENA BURGER cafe.

Tired of playing, I took a lunch break at HATENA BURGER, which has the atmosphere of an American diner.

You can choose from a wide variety of buns, main ingredients, toppings, and sauces to create your own customized hamburger. There are more than 270,000 possible combinations! There are also many Kyoto-style toppings such as Kujo green onions, Manganji togarashi (red pepper), and shibazuke (a type of pickled radish). If you are in doubt, don't worry, there is also a standard hamburger menu.

The hamburger set (left), which combines a black bun mixed with bamboo charcoal, fried chicken, thick fried tofu, and other toppings, and Shibazuke tartar sauce, is 2100 yen, while the standard WASABI beef burger set (right) is 1900 yen. Both come with a drink and a side dish.

Trivia: The burgers range from a thoroughly Japanese style burger featuring grilled Spanish mackerel and oyakodon, to a vegetable burger consisting of only vegetables with a large mushroom as the centerpiece!

14. Play at the Nintendo Museum.

I visited this time thinking that this facility is mainly for people who know a lot about games. Actually, I was a little worried, but even those who are not familiar with games were able to fully enjoy the event!
The exhibition area on the second floor is sure to be a great place to visit with people of any age to see nostalgic software and game consoles. The contents were so extensive that fans could spend an entire day there.

In the experience space on the first floor, there are many games that can be enjoyed by everyone from adults to children, with varying degrees of difficulty. Even the games that look simple are so deep that you will lose track of time and get hooked! With a café and a selection of souvenirs, this was a highly satisfying outing spot that could be enjoyed from morning to night!
