Think of this more as a great lunch or dinner spot with an informational display attached. The two ramens I tried were both top notch, and the novelty of eating in a mini reconstruction of an old Tokyo street was a lot of fun. The museum display had some good information on the history of ramen, but is fairly small. Getting small bowls of 2 or 3 ramen from the different shops is the way to go, but get there early or the lunch lines can get big.

The first floor is primarily souvenir shops and a very brief explanation of the history of ramen. There is also a place to make your own cup of noodles. Much like the Momofuku Ramen Museum. B1 has a mock old Japanese town with a candy store in the back and a ramen shop in front. B2 has the multiple ramen shops that represent different parts of Japan. Salt, soy, fish, pork - they have it. They have mini bowls so you can try a few different types. Cash only. Kind of expensive if you total everything up. Worth going especially if want to try different flavors. Go hungry.

This isn't exactly a fullblown historic museum about Ramen as the name seems to imply. But rather a collection of different versions of famous Ramen restaurants, with the usual souvenir shop thrown in & some historic facts about ramen displayed. The restaurants area at basement & along the passageway are set in a nice nostalgic old Japanese street setting. Lots of tourists & long queues at restaurants - order the smallest portion so you have stomach room to try 2 or 3 different restaurants versions. Entry fees is ¥450, with special prices for seniors & students. If in Yokohama, worth a visit more to try the different ramen versions, rather than to see the museum.

Always a fun stop to try out different ramen while traveling through the area. The inside of the building is like a movie set at the height of the Showa Era. It’s really fun to walk around and see all the detail put into the fake storefronts. The ramen restaurants serve a nice smaller portion of ramen that lets you taste more than one kind before getting full. I really like the tonkotsu ramen. This time we also tried an interesting wonton ramen which was really good.

We chose to go here than the cup noodle museum. We were able to see the origins of the Ramen all across Japan. The actual museum is just on the main floor. The different ramen shops are at the basement. We chose to go to the one offering Tonkotsu Ramen. It was great. Looks like the big vat of pork bone soup was really traditonal. Other visitors just ordered small bowls so they could try all the ramen shops. We should've done the same. But we were already too full with just the 1 regular bowl. We went on a Friday and the museum was packed. We had to line up for about 30mins to get a ramen. On the museum floor, make sure you go to the Ramen Lab. There you can customize your own instant ramen bowl. You could even customize the picture on the lids. They also have ramen noodle makong classes.
