Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum

Opened in 1994 as the world's first ramen-themed amusement park, the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum takes visitors on a nostalgic journey to a meticulously recreated 1958 Tokyo neighborhood in its basement levels. The retro streetscape features vintage storefronts, old-fashioned candy shops, and atmospheric lighting that evokes the early Showa era. Multiple carefully selected ramen shops from different regions of Japan serve their distinctive styles, from rich Hakata tonkotsu to light Sapporo miso and everything in between. The first floor houses an informative exhibition tracing the history of ramen from its Chinese origins to becoming Japan's beloved national comfort food. Visitors can also participate in a hands-on noodle-making experience using traditional bamboo-beating techniques, and mini portions are available so guests can sample multiple bowls in one visit.
