Instant ramen, now loved around the world, was born in Japan. The Cupnoodles Museum Yokohama commemorates the achievements of Momofuku Ando (1910-2007), founder of Nissin Foods, who invented instant ramen and revolutionized global food culture. Both adults and children can enjoy learning about the history and production process of instant ramen at this museum.
After the Cupnoodles Museum, visitors will move on to the Ramen Museum in Shin-Yokohama by train and walk. The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, or "Ra-Haku" for short, opened in 1994 as the world's first ramen food amusement park. Visitors can learn about the history and culture of ramen, which developed uniquely in Japan. The interior of the museum, which is modeled after the nostalgic streets of Japan several decades ago, is an exciting place to be. Visitors can enjoy half-size portions of ramen from popular ramen restaurants throughout Japan. Enjoy the atmosphere and taste. (Train fare for transportation is not included in the tour price.)

Omg! Nori is one of a kind. She went over and beyond taking care of us she spent extra time talking with my husband myself and our two grandsons getting to know each of us and making sure we understood the origins of cup of noodles and ramen. Our grandsons are still raving about her and how she took special care of us. To make that kind of impression on a 14 and 29 year old boys is special. We all learned so much. She even took pictures with my phone so I have the memories.The session ended late and she walked us to the train station to make sure we got on the right train back to our hotel. Nori is a very special lady. I’ve told our travel agent about her. Thank you Nori for everything we will definitely spread good reviews about the Ramen and cup of noodles museums.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Nori's tour!

Overpriced tour, short, boring. Would not do again. Most of the tour was spent walking to the other location Making your own ramen cup might be cool if you are less than 10 years old

The Cup Noodle Museum was the most fun. Our guide helped us see the best parts of the museum and helped with the language barrier. The Ramen Museum wasn’t very interesting except for eating the actual ramen which was very good. Overall a good experience and our guide was very nice!
