Situated about 20 minutes away from central Tokyo, Yokohama is much less crowded than other tourist hotspots. However, that doesn't stop sightseers from going out of their way to experience what the city has to offer. Visitors are drawn by its creative arts scene, its microbreweries, and its gastronomic offerings. One of its top attractions is the Cup Noodles Museum.
The Cup Noodles Museum is an interactive destination dedicated to instant ramen and its inventor, Momofuku Ando. The tour includes a historical overview of the history of the cup noodle, told through an animated film. The entire tour attempts to highlight the values of perseverance and going against the tide. At the end of the experience, each visitor gets the chance to design their own cup noodle by coloring it, choosing the ingredients, and having it air-sealed. Museum entrance fee is 500 yen for adults and free for children.
