Entry

450 yen for adults, 100 yen for elementary and junior high school students, free for children under school age (same-day ticket)

Hours

11:00-21:00 on weekdays and 10:30-21:00 on weekends and holidays; last orders 30 minutes before closing. Closed only on 31 December and 1 January

Entry pays only for getting in. Ramen is bought at each shop, and everyone from junior high school age is asked to order at least one bowl. The shops do not take seat bookings, so expect to queue at busy times.

Shops

8 shops (counted on the official menu, 17 October 2026). Asakusa Rairaiken, a revived Meiji-era shop, left on 28 September 2025, so it is not one of the 8

From other regions

5 of 8: Ryu Shanhai Honten (Yamagata), Rishiri Ramen Miraku (Rishiri Island, Hokkaido), Ryukyu Shinmen Tondo (Okinawa), Komurasaki (Kumamoto) and Shindo Ramen (Thailand)

We count a shop as from another region only when the official page names a prefecture, city or country for it. Other shops may also come from elsewhere.

Shops come and go

The museum changes its line-up over time, so the count is for the date shown. We count only the shops on the museum's own menu page, not past shops in its archive.

2 vegetarian bowls: Ryu Shanhai Honten's vegetarian ramen (1,050 yen) and Komurasaki's vegetable-only Ousama Ramen (1,100 yen, no animal ingredients). The museum says its food is not halal: the cooks are not Muslim and kitchens and tableware are shared. There is a prayer space with mats and a qibla compass.

Checked on 17 and 18 October 2026. Menus change. Ask the shop before you order if you avoid meat, pork or animal products for religious or health reasons. An allergy label does not tell you if food is halal.
