“Kyoto Tour + Nintendo!”
Despite being rained on for our day trip to Kyoto, Miyu showed us a lot of very interesting things, especially about the Nintendo company there. Her Nintendo knowledge is unparalleled, and was able to show us a bunch of different interesting places. She also had some good recommendations for food while we were there. The day ended at the Nintendo Museum where we learned quite a bit about the history. A very fun day!

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.
