    I really like that the Nintendo elements are super subtle and not bashing you over the head. It tows a fine line between elegant and young-at-heart with it's history.

    • @tdrexplorer
      @tdrexplorer  2 роки тому +3

      It had that elegance, you're right! It's a different experience compared to what you think of when you hear "Nintendo." It's even better when you realise the history behind it all. My favourite was the original hanko that are in the library. Imagine the papers they had to stamp with those over the years that would eventually lead to what we have today 🤯

    This hotel is perfect for anyone who's both a history buff and a gamer. From the heron sculpture made of stuff left behind to the library and the hotel room, the aesthetic is exquisite. To be able say you woke up in Nintendo's original headquarters is something else

    OMG, is this really all included? Because I really want to go there when I can finally go to Japan, but I'll be so afraid to touch anything because I already sold my soul to the Yamauchi Family in exchange of Mario games and toys, I need what I have left of me O.o

    • @tdrexplorer
      @tdrexplorer  2 роки тому +2

      Yup! You can just get the room without the all-inclusive if you want it a bit cheaper. But, getting three full meals and access to the bar (unlimited drinks) is quite lovely. Thank you for watching!

    How very cool. I had no idea Nintendo started out as a paper playing card company! That time clock was amazing, as was the library, and the excruciating attention to detail everywhere. It is funny to think who in the company decided to jump into the crazy new world of electronics and computer games, and who was resistant to change!

    That place looks so nice and I'd probably really enjoy the library there (I can't read much Japanese but there are pictures lol). The first console I ever played on was a family computer and seeing it here brought back memories of playing duck hunt and bomberman XD. The rooms look comfortable to be in (the beds looked soft). Also the food looks great especially the breakfast. Wish I could stay there cause it's probably better to see everything in person.
