Kyoto, where Nintendo Store Kyoto is located, is very popular with tourists not only from Japan but also from overseas, so it is crowded in the morning and early afternoon. However, it is recommended to visit after 6:00 pm, as there will be fewer people in the evening and it will be easier to see the store and shop.

Temples and shrines in Kyoto close around 17:00, so it's a good idea to go sightseeing in Kyoto from morning to evening, and go to Takashimaya [Nintendo Store Kyoto] in Shijo, Kyoto around 18:00. It's fairly empty and you can shop at your leisure.
