Yokohama - Day 4


Ramen Museum
Our last stop for today is at Ramen Museum at Yokohama on the way back to Tokyo. On the first floor, a gallery presents the history of ramen noodles in Japan, including the big success of instant ramen. On the two basement floors, visitors can explore a 1:1 replica of some streets and houses of Shitamachi, the old town of Tokyo, of around the year 1958, when the popularity of ramen was rapidly increasing. Nine ramen restaurants can be found there, each featuring a ramen dish from a different region of Japan.
