Nintendo Museum
Friday - October 10th 2025
Today another highlight of this Japan trip was upon us, but first it was time
for breakfast at Starbucks. With iced coffees in our hands we were on our way
to
Shosei-en Garden, a beautiful park with teahouses, small temples and a picturesque pond
dating back to the 17th century. When we arrived, the garden just opened and
so we were the only ones walking around enjoying the warm waeather and the
quietness of the park. We didn't have too much time, because we had to catch a
train for our next stop.

The train left Kyoto Station and about half an hour later we arrived at Ogura
Station in the south of Kyoto. The reason why we went there was to visit the
Nintendo Museum. It's not so easy get tickets for the museum, because it's so popular and so
Nintendo established a lottery in which visitors can win the right to buy an
entry ticket. We were lucky and won and of course we very excited to go there.
The museum is located in a former Nintendo factory that wasn't needed anymore.
When we arrived we got to make some pictures with props from the famous Super
Mario games. Then it was finally time to enter the exhibition halls where we
learnt a lot about the history of Nintendo from the Nintende Entertainment
System oder the Game Boy to the Switch. Claudia and I enjoyed our time there a
lot, but after we had seen everything and bought some merchandise we decided
to take the train back to Kyoto.

Back in Kyoto we walked to a plant based restaurant called
Mercy Vegan Factory. There we had a late lunch and ordered sushi, fried cauliflower and a plant
based egg sandwich. The food was really good and soon we were on our way
again. Near the restaurant was
Nishi Hongan-Ji Temple
and so we made a quick stop there. Later we returned to the hotel and rested a
little bit. In the evening we got our daily free drink at the hotel bar before
hading to Chabuton for dinner again. Then we just strolled around Yodabashi
and Kyoto Station and got a couple of donuts from Dunkin Donuts. Back at the
hotel we just spent a relaxing evening watching TV.
