Nintendo officially announced the opening of its new store, Nintendo Fukuoka, months ago. Now we know it will welcome visitors starting November 14, 2025, at Amu Plaza Hakata. This marks the company’s fourth official store in Japan and the very first in the Kyushu region.
The arrival of Nintendo Fukuoka expands its retail presence beyond Japan’s major hubs of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Located on the eighth floor of Amu Plaza Hakata, directly connected to the bustling JR Hakata Station, the store is expected to become a landmark destination for both local fans and international visitors. Its strategic placement in one of Kyushu’s busiest commercial centers ensures easy access and high visibility, making it a natural gathering point for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Much like its sister locations, Nintendo Fukuoka will offer an extensive range of character-themed merchandise inspired by beloved franchises such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Pokémon. Exclusive apparel and accessories to collectible figures and home goods, the store aims to immerse fans in the colorful worlds Nintendo has created over decades, that's the main mission.
In addition to shopping, the store is expected to host interactive experiences and events designed to engage visitors of all ages. These may include hands-on game demos, themed exhibitions, and seasonal promotions that celebrate new releases or anniversaries of iconic titles. Such activities have proven popular in other Nintendo stores, where fans often line up for limited-edition items or special in-store campaigns.
The opening of Nintendo Fukuoka also highlights the company’s commitment to strengthening its cultural presence across Japan. By establishing a store in Kyushu, Nintendo is not only catering to a new regional audience but also reinforcing its role as a cultural ambassador of Japanese creativity and innovation. The store is likely to attract tourists as well, adding to Fukuoka’s reputation as a vibrant city that blends tradition with modern entertainment. Nintendo has confirmed that more information about entry procedures and special promotions will be shared closer to the launch date. Given the success of its other stores, it is expected that Nintendo Fukuoka will quickly become a must-visit destination for gamers and collectors alike.
If by any chance you will be around Fukuoka those days, now you have a special date.
