I have been wanting to visit the Cup Noodle Museum for a very long time, and it exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend you arrive well before the 10am opening time, at least 9:30am, because they start selling tickets early and on weekends the time slots sell out quickly. We did the general museum (500 yen per adult) and then booked in to create our own cup noodle ramen, which is 500 yen per cup. Making your own cup noodle was great. Do not skimp on this. It is well worth the money. The museum itself is small, and the cartoon you watch about the history is in Japanese. Highly recommend you ask at the ticket counter for an English info book. For kids, they have the play park, which is 500 yen per kid and probably a bit pricey for 1/2 hour play time. They also did a safety briefing AND walked the kids through the play area for the first 10 minutes. My 5 year old was ready to tear his hair out wanting to bolt and just play already! The World Bazaar was good as well, definitely worth the pit stop to enjoy some noodles. Overall, an enthusiastic 5/5. Yokohama is a lovely area to visit, so include the Cup Noodle Museum!

The Cup of Noodle Museum is a good rainy day activity if you have extra time. Admission is free for kids. There is lots of information on how Cup Noodle came to be. The diy Cupnoodles is fun. You get to color your own cup for 500 yen then you get to add your choice of flavor and toppings in your designed cup. They have you package it in an inflatable bag which is great if you're planning to bring it home as a souvenir. Be prepared to wait. You have to make a reservation to go into the design area. Skip the Cupnoodle park unless your children are under 5 yrs old. For 500 yen it's kinda of a rip off having them go through two slides and a light up room. They do have a mini tour for the kids, but my 7 and 9 year old were not impressed. Also needs a reservation before hand. The Noodle Bazaar. Bring cash. Uses a ticket system like you would at a small ramen shop. It was fun to try the different dishes. There was a bit of a wait round noon. I would not recommend the soft serve cupnoodle flavored ice cream unless you are really into your ice cream tasting like cup noodle.

Has to be one of the best attractions in the area. Don’t miss this place. Go early. Inexpensive way to spend some time at Yokohama. I had no idea how Cup Noodles ever came about until I went through this place. Very interesting.

Our local guides, Shun and Noriko, recommended that we visit Cup Noodles when in Yokohama. We're glad we did. It made our day memorable. This Museum is huge with many floors -- some we didn't have time to visit. We primarily went to make our personal "Cup Noodles," with custom design on the Styrofoam cup and selected condiments, eg, curry, kim chee, onions, cheese. Next, the cup was made portable with airtight, inflated, plastic bag with a carrying ribbon. We could have stayed another hour to see the museum exhibits. 1000 yen pp.

One of the coolest museums I’ve visited! Adults and kids can all find stuff to enjoy. Highly recommend!! Very affordable for a family on a budget as well! The food court on the top floor was a bonus and wonderful addition to a great experience overall. Recommend paying the 500 yen to decorate and make your very own cup of noodles!! The entire staff was exceptional!

A must go if you are a cup noodle fan and with kids. Entrance fee was very reasonable about 500 yen. You can go early (10am opening) to queue for ticket to make your own cup noodles. We went at 10am and got a ticket for 1030am. It was very organised - you purchase an empty cup (with cover) and is directed to a table with markers where you can add your own designs. Then you proceed to a construction line where you can choose your own ingredients etc. If you wish to make your own noodles from scratch, you must book very early (check out their website for more details), we couldn't book any slot 2 months earlier. There are some sample stalls on the last floor (500yen per small bowl) of noodles around the world - malaysia, thailand, vietnam etc. Not very authentic but still good to eat. We spent about 2-3h at this location

Interesting museum that brings out the whole evolution of Cup noodles and fast food industry. Kids will enjoy activities around making noodles and packaging of it. Very well organized and maintained, highly recommemnded.

What a fun thing to do. It costs 500 yen for everyone over 18 to enter, it's then 500 yen to make your own cup of noodles. It is time slotted we were lucky when we arrived a time slot was about to start. It's was a good afternoon sitting at a table with strangers all decorating our cups and showing each other our end results. The whole process is a great way to spend time together and be creative. Would highly recommend coming here.

Visited whilst on day trip at Yokohama. The museum was ok but basic.The highlight was putting together your own noodles which our two kids did. The noodles were sealed and packed in a bubble for travel. We also tried out the Noddles Bazaar that had stalls selling noodle dishes from around the world. The noodles were delicious but you only get a small sampler so don't expect to be satiated with one dish.

I didn't know what to expect. Visiting the Cup of Noodles Museum exceeded my expectations. The story of cup of noodle, progression of product development, exhibit of history of different "cups" of noodles is simply amazing. The best part is creating my personal cup of noodle, from designing my own cup art to picking my own ingredients. The final product is shrink wrapped just like the commercially available product on the grocery store shelf. Wonderful experience. The process to create the personalize cup of noodle is efficient and well done. Shopping at the museum store is very fun.
