Nintendo Museum (and a score at BookOff)

Next up was the Nintendo Museum, which was a short train ride from the plum festival (hence why I arranged our day like this). We had the 2pm slot and arrived in the area at 1pm, so we ducked down to the local BookOff that was about 800m away. I was absolutely rapt, as I found a Serena Pokemon card that was one of the shiny ones, and it was only $9 (not $100 like the rare Serena card in the BookOff in Tokyo). They only had 1, so I nabbed it. I'll get it framed, as this might be as good as I can find when it comes to Serena merch! Michael also got two AMAZING Naruto art books, with each containing gorgeous artworks as well as two full sheets of stickers!

The Nintendo Museum was loads of fun. You go in and they have the museum/history area that you aren't allowed to photograph in - which takes you through all the different games and consoles that have evolved over time - and then you have the interactive area where you get coins on your entry card and you can play a range of Nintendo games, from console style, to whacking ping pong balls with a foam bat, giant games, shoot em games, the works. This part was super fun, as I really enjoyed playing the physical interactive games, and because Michael preferred the other stuff, he gave me some extra tokens so I could play more games!Læs mere
