At the Cup Noodles Museum, participants can explore interactive exhibits that explain how instant ramen was invented and how it became a worldwide phenomenon. Your guide will help you understand not only what is written on the displays but also the background, context, and small details that are easy to miss when visiting alone. You will then visit the Cup Noodles Factory area, where you can design and decorate your own cup, choose your preferred soup base, and select from various toppings to create a fully personalized Cup Noodles to take home. This guided visit makes the museum more enjoyable and accessible, especially since most of the information inside is written only in Japanese.

We had a pickup at Ikeda Station, arrived without any confusion, and the guide handled all the procedures for us, allowing us to have a comfortable experience without having to wait in a long line. Thank you very much 😊 Next, I want to go make a Chicken Ramen experience. I'm having trouble getting a reservation, do you have any guided tours you can help with?
We enjoyed the experience and the souvenir shop. If you have a chance, try this activity and enjoy it!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and the souvenir shop. We really appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan!
I was met at Ikeda Station on a snowy day and had an enjoyable time during this personalized tour of the Osaka Ikeda Cup Noodles Museum. I feel terrible that I don't remember my guide's name, but he was friendly and engaging which allowed me to have fun as a solo traveler. At the end of the tour, he bought some cute little ramen stickers and gifted them to me as a wrap-up of the tour, which I thought was a very sweet gesture!
Hi Rumi, Thank you so much for your kind words. Your guide was Masashi, and he’ll be very happy to hear this. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the tour even on a snowy day — we always aim to make solo travelers feel welcome and comfortable. Hope to see you again in Japan! KOKORO TRIP JAPAN
