🎟️ How I Scored Last-Minute Nintendo Museum Tickets (And How You Can Too)

Visiting the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto is a dream for fans around the world. But if you’ve tried getting tickets, you know how challenging it can be. Tickets are released in small batches, and they can sell out within minutes — often leaving travelers disappointed.


Why It’s So Hard to Get Tickets

The official ticketing system updates on a fixed schedule, with most dates released weeks or months in advance. However, due to high demand and limited availability, prime dates disappear almost instantly. Last-minute travelers often find the calendar completely booked, even if they check daily.


My Last-Minute Success Story

Before my recent trip to Kyoto, I realized I hadn’t booked a ticket in time. I didn’t want to spend my days constantly refreshing the booking page, so I built a bot that automatically checks the official calendar every 10 minutes and alerts me if new tickets drop.


Thanks to this system, I was able to snag tickets just a few days before my visit — and I got to experience the museum without the stress of constant manual checking.


How the Alert System Works

  • Scans the official Nintendo Museum ticket calendar every 10 minutes
  • Looks for newly available dates in the current and following month
  • Sends instant notifications via Telegram and Discord
  • Free to use — just join a channel and you’ll be notified in real time

Is This Official?

No — this is a fan-made project created to help other Nintendo fans enjoy the museum. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.


Final Tips for Visiting

  • Set up your My Nintendo account before booking
  • Act quickly when you receive an alert — tickets can disappear in minutes
  • Check if there are any booking restrictions based on your location

The Nintendo Museum is a must-visit for any gaming fan. With the help of this alert system, you’ll drastically improve your chances of getting in — even at the last minute.
