Nintendo announced today (20) via an online press conference that the Nintendo Museum will officially open in Uji, Kyoto on October 2. The official website is now live for the lottery of admission tickets.
The Nintendo Museum showcases many of Nintendo’s hardware and games released over the years, highlighting the company’s development. The exhibits are designed to evoke nostalgia in visitors. There is also an interactive area where guests can engage with various mini-games to experience different aspects of Nintendo.
One of the most unique experiences is creating your own Nintendo flower cards. (Material costs are not included.) While classic early products from Nintendo are still available for purchase, visitors can personalize them in the museum.
The café area offers food and beverages, featuring special desserts unique to the museum, as well as a selection of customizable burgers. Limited-edition products will also be available for purchase.
How to Enter the Nintendo Museum
Admission tickets will be distributed through a lottery system. Visitors can select their desired admission date in advance and pay the admission fees through the official online lottery portal. The lottery ticket website requires users to log in with a Nintendo Account.
Admission fees are set at 3,300 yen for adults (18 years and older), 2,200 yen for junior high and high school students, 1,100 yen for elementary school students, and free for preschool children. The payment website accepts three credit card options: VISA, MASTERCARD, and JCB.
There are two ways to purchase tickets: one is through a lottery held three months prior to the admission date, and the other is on a first-come, first-served basis from one and a half months leading up to the day before the admission date.
Currently, the official website is accepting appointments for the lottery. The system allows users to instantly view the lottery status of each session. Each account can select up to three different times/games simultaneously to participate in the lottery. Nintendo Museum Official Website
The admission card will allow visitors to use their own Mii characters, which can be recorded during their experience in the museum. Those interested in obtaining a unique Mii admission card can set up their Mii on the official website after purchasing their tickets.
If you are buying tickets for multiple people, the main ticket purchaser can utilize the ticket distribution system to allocate tickets to companions, allowing each person to complete their Mii character settings individually. (Pre-school children do not need an admission ticket.)
