Itinerary
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 Yokohama Chinatown. Yokohama Chinatown was formed by Chinese foreign merchants who arrived with Westerners after the opening of the port of Yokohama in 1859, and has gradually developed along with the increase in the Chinese population. Today, more than 600 stores are crammed into the area. On this tour, you will eat dim sums, snacks, etc., while browsing through souvenir stores and stores of your interest.
After the Yokohama Chinatown, 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. (*Customers are responsible for the cost of eating ramen. Budget 700-1000 yen per restaurant.) (*Train fare for transportation is not included in the tour price.)

About Yokohama
Yokohama is Japan's second-largest city, a port south of Tokyo with a modern waterfront, the country's biggest Chinatown and hillside foreign quarters.
Yokohama grew from a fishing village into a treaty port after 1859, and its harbour still defines the city. Minato Mirai 21, the waterfront district, has the Landmark Tower, a Ferris wheel and a promenade with views over the bay. The Red Brick Warehouse buildings are now shops and event halls, and Yamashita Park runs along the water beside the Hikawa Maru, a retired ocean liner.
