Nintendo, the world wide popular Japanese video game company, have official stores calles Nintendo Store where you can buy a wide variety of themed goods from stationary to clothes or even tableware, with designs of some of the most popular video games, such as Super Mario or Zelda.
Nintendo’s first store opened in 2019, and it was a success. The truth is that it was even strange that they hadn’t opened a store before, since their video games are very popular.

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
