Nintendo announced the Nintendo Museum will open its doors on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, in Uji City, Kyoto. The Nintendo Museum lets visitors discover and experience the history of the entertainment brought by Nintendo in many exhibits.
The museum will feature side-by-side displays of products released by Nintendo over the decades. Interactive exhibits will let players enjoy “play experiences” born of Nintendo’s creativity, enhanced with modern technology. Those who reserve their visit and pay a separate fee may also experience the origins of Nintendo with Hanafuda playing cards.
