Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama Tickets: Price, Make Your Own Cup Noodle, Reservations and Hours (2026)

Updated 2026-10-10

Short answer: admission to the Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama is ¥500 for adults and free for high school age and younger. Making your own cup noodle in the My CUPNOODLES Factory costs ¥500 per cup on top. To be sure of a slot, buy the museum's online set (admission + factory): ¥1,000 per adult, ¥500 for high school age and younger, sold until 24:00 the day before. Without it, you get a numbered ticket on the day in the order you arrive, until they run out. The museum is open 10:00–18:00 (last admission 17:00) and closed on Tuesdays. Prices from the museum's official site and its online ticket shop, checked 2026-10-10.

Ticket prices

All prices include tax. The museum says the My CUPNOODLES Factory, Chicken Ramen Factory and CUPNOODLES Park are the paid attractions; the exhibits (Instant Noodles History Cube, Momofuku Theater and the others) are part of admission.

What it costs: examples for one person and a family

The online set costs the same as paying at the museum (¥500 + ¥500 for an adult). You pay nothing extra for the guaranteed time slot, so if your date is fixed, the online set is the safer choice.

My CUPNOODLES Factory: how it works

• Where: 3rd floor. You buy a cup from a vending machine, draw your own design on it, then choose 1 of 4 soups and 4 of 12 toppings. Staff seal and shrink-wrap it for you. It takes about 45 minutes.
• Hours: 10:00–18:00, last entry 17:30.
• Without the online set: you get a numbered ticket in the order you enter the museum and pick the time slot you want. When the day's tickets are gone, reception closes for that day. Each person can do it only once.
• With the online set: tickets go on sale at 10:00 on the 1st of each month for the next month, and close at 24:00 the day before (or when sold out). One ticket and one factory session per person. On the day, print your ticket at the kiosk in the 1st floor Entrance Hall with the confirmation code from your email, scan the QR code at the 2nd floor gate, and show the voucher at the 3rd floor factory in your time slot.
• Changes and refunds: you can cancel free of charge until 8:00 on the day through the shop's cancellation form; the money goes back to your card. Dates, times and ticket types cannot be changed (cancel and buy again).
• Cards: Visa, Mastercard, JCB and American Express, with 3-D Secure 2. Cards without it are declined.

Chicken Ramen Factory: book ahead

• You make Chicken Ramen from flour: knead, roll and cut the noodles, design the package, season and shape the block. Staff do the steaming and frying. You take the noodles home, plus a Hiyoko-chan bandanna. 70 minutes.
• Sessions: 10:15, 11:00, 11:45, 13:15, 14:00, 14:45, 15:30 and 16:15, up to 48 people each.
• Who can join: elementary school age and up. No preschool children. Children in grades 1–3 must work with someone of junior high age or older. Only participants can enter the room.
• How to book: online (24 hours a day) or by phone, from 10:00 three months before your date, for groups of up to 20. Bookings for one person alone are not accepted.
• Come to the 3rd floor counter at least 15 minutes before your session. You may be asked to show ID.

CUPNOODLES Park

An indoor play area where kids move through a "factory" as if they were noodles. ¥500 per session (25 minutes of play in a 30-minute slot), ages 3 to elementary school and at least 90 cm tall.

Lunch inside: NOODLES BAZAAR

On the 4th floor, eight stands sell noodle dishes from eight countries (Italy, Kazakhstan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia) as half-size bowls for ¥500 each, so you can try two. A mini Chicken Ramen is ¥250, desserts ¥400 and drinks ¥250. 11:00–18:00, last order 17:30.

Coming from Tokyo, the cheapest ticket depends on where you start: compare them in the Yokohama day trip cost calculator. With kids, the Yokohama family train cost guide shows the child fares. The museum is the first stop in our Yokohama day trip itinerary, because it closes earlier than the rest of the harbour.
