From an invention to an everyday meal
The galleries follow instant noodles and the ideas behind them. Leave time for the displays as well as your activity: the museum is an exhibition and experience space, rather than a tour of an industrial production line.
Design your own cup
At My CUPNOODLES Factory, decorate a cup and choose one of four soups and four of twelve toppings. Participation requires a same-day numbered ticket, subject to availability, or advance admission with a reserved activity slot. The cup-making fee is separate.
Plan around your activity
Check the official booking options before travelling. Chicken Ramen Factory is a different experience with its own booking and fees. Holiday closures and activity capacity can affect your plans; use the current official calendar.
