Nintendo Headquarters in Kyoto, Japan

Nintendo is one of the world's most recognizable brands, taking up real estate in millions of houses ever since the NES came out in 1983. The colorful, imaginative, and very well-designed games of the studio draw in many children and adults alike.

And it seems like their popularity is only expanding with the new amusement park and movie. What many people don't tend to think about however is that Nintendo is a real-life company with real-life employees, which means that it has to have a real-life location.

The main building of Nintendo can be found in southern Kyoto, not far from its original building (see other place I submitted). While this gray building could be disappointing to some, it has in fact become a sort of pilgrim location for hardened Nintendo fans who come to take a photo with the sign.
