There are hanafuda cards on the wall, and other nods to Nintendo’s playing card pedigree.

There is also a library called “DNA,” that pays tribute to Nintendo’s history, complete with a Famicom and digital displays showing hanafuda cards.

Made up of three connected buildings, the hotel has 18 rooms, including seven suites. One of the buildings is the former Yamauchi family home.

This is actually a former warehouse that’s been changed into part of the hotel. Note how they’ve kept the original eleavtor.

World-famous architect Tadao Ando designed a new annex for the hotel.

Rooms start at 100,000 yen ($822) a night. The hotel is all-inclusive, so guests get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also apparently snacks available all around the clock.

This isn’t Nintendo’s first headquarters. ​​In 1889, Fusajiro Yamauchi founded Marufuku Nintendo Card Co., producing traditional Japanese playing cards called hanafuda, and eventually Western playing cards as well. That building was demolished in 2004, and is apparently now a parking lot.

In the past few years, other landmarks have been turned into hotels, with the final results varying, and sometimes not turning out so great. This hotel, however, looks very nice.

I imagine it’s going to be hard to get a reservation here.
