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.)
