The unique street décor is a tribute and homage to the massive success and love in fans eyes. This new addition highlights the museum’s commitment to celebrating Nintendo’s rich history and the Pokémon franchise.
The Nintendo Museum will not be the only place showcasing these distinctive
Pokémon manhole covers. Known as
“Poké Lids,”these artistic manhole covers have been appearing across various Japanese cities. Cities like Tokyo and Ikaruga
have already featured similar designs, which
highlight different Pokémon characters, including Golem and Vulpix.
In order to providing fans with the opportunity to explore these creative street decorations,
a map detailing the locations of these Poké Lids has been released .
Scheduled to open on October 2 in Kyoto, the Nintendo Museum will be located on the site of the former Ogura Plant.

it was once used for the production of trading cards and console repairs.
The museum will
offer an extensive display of Nintendo’s history, alongside the new Pokémon manhole cover being
a highlight of its unique offerings.
The design of the new manhole cover pays homage to the early days of Pokémon.
The art on the cover is a Pikachu leaping from an original GameBoy, evoking nostalgia for fans of the franchise’s early days.
This cover joins a
growing collection of themed manhole covers intended to engage Pokémon enthusiasts and promote local areas.
The concept has become a quirky and effective method of integrating Pokémon into everyday urban settings.
The Pokémon manhole cover represents a blend of cultural heritage and fan engagement.
This distinctive element of sorts enhances the museum experience and further connects with fans. With the museum’s opening approaching,
visitors will soon have the chance to see this exclusive Poké Lid up close.
