Enjoy Nintendo for Kids and Gamers
Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines. If you go with kids, it's hard to have an interest in history for kids. Kyoto has Nintendo headquarters. If you are a fan of Nintendo games, I recommend this tour of places related to Nintendo, led by a storyteller. We will drop by Pokémon Center, the Nintendo Shop, and the Used Toys Shop. You can enjoy shopping also.
