Nintendo’s history dates back to 1889 when the company started making hanafuda playing cards. This impressive evolution will be showcased in the Nintendo Museum, opening in Kyoto, Japan this fall.
Announced in 2021, the museum is housed in Nintendo’s Uji Ogura Plant, built in 1969. Originally used for making trading cards and later for quality-checking consoles, the plant now features a Super Mario Bros.-themed plaza with pipes and floating blocks. Inside, visitors can explore consoles like the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Wii, with some interactive exhibits requiring teamwork.
Other attractions include a batting cage, a shooter game, and the chance to create hanafuda cards. Afterward, guests can shop or dine in the museum’s restaurant.
The museum opens on October 2, with tickets available through a lottery. Adult tickets are $23 USD (¥3,300 JPY) and include ten digital coins for interactive games.
