Nintendo has confirmed a new dining venue at its physical museum in Uji: the Super Family Restaurant is slated to open in Autumn 2026.
The announcement, posted to the museum's official X account on June 19, 2026, follows the museum's October 2024 launch and expands Nintendo's on-site visitor offerings beyond exhibits, a shop, and a café.
Background and context
The Nintendo Museum opened in October 2024 in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, and presents the company’s history dating back to its founding in 1889.
The site includes galleries, rotating exhibits, a retail store and a café.
The new Super Family Restaurant represents the museum's next phase of development and is positioned as an on-site dining facility aimed at enhancing the visitor experience.
What Nintendo announced
In its post, the museum said staff are currently preparing a range of menu items, including both savory dishes and desserts, for the Super Family Restaurant.
The museum also stated that further details, including the exact opening date, will be provided at a later time.
Those two points were reiterated in the official message: the team is working on the menu, and additional information will be announced in due course.
Pre-opening imagery and exhibits
The museum shared a pre-opening image showing the restaurant space alongside established displays from Nintendo franchises.
The photo features a large statue of Link as he appears in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a Master Sword mounted in its pedestal, and a substantial bust of Samus Aran’s Power Suit from the Metroid series.
These elements indicate the restaurant will be integrated visually with the museum’s existing franchise-focused exhibits.
Why this matters
The Super Family Restaurant expands Nintendo’s real-world engagement in Japan and broadens the visitor services available at the Uji site.
The museum continues to complement Nintendo’s digital and platform presence — including the Nintendo Switch and communications channels such as Nintendo Direct and the Nintendo eShop — by offering physical spaces where fans can interact with the company's heritage.
What to expect next
Nintendo has committed to releasing more information later this year, including a specific opening date and additional details about the menu and reservation procedures.
For now, visitors and industry watchers can expect the Super Family Restaurant to open in Autumn 2026 and to be part of the Nintendo Museum experience in Uji.
