I made a reservation with the room selection plan and was able to choose the room on the day.As a fan of retro architecture and a fan of Tadao Ando, ​​I was unsure whether to go to the existing building or the new building, but I decided to go with the new building because it had a room with Mr. Ando's signature.On the next day's tour of the facility, I was able to hear about Nintendo's history and architecture, which made my time even more interesting.The drinks and food in the lounge are delicious, and I wish they would sell the cube-shaped cookies. I'm not a big drinker, so I didn't enjoy it 100%, but I was satisfied enough.I made a mistake in the lounge in the morning due to a misunderstanding, but thank you for taking care of me so that I wouldn't be embarrassed.I was intrigued by the eerily cute art pieces displayed in the library!I was impressed by the friendly, non-commercial approach.

You have to be a hotel guest or have a restaurant reservation to get in. You can’t see Ando’s design in the lobby, since he only designed the guest rooms. But you can see Nintendo’s old office and Ando’s books in the lobby.
