Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum Tickets: Entrance Fee, Mini Ramen Prices, Hours and Access (2026)

Updated 2026-10-11

Short answer: the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum (新横浜ラーメン博物館, "Ra-Haku") costs ¥450 per adult and ¥100 for elementary, junior high and high school students (high school students show a student ID). Children under school age go in free. It is open 11:00–21:00 on weekdays and 10:30–21:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, with last orders 30 minutes before closing, and it closes only on 31 December and 1 January. You don't need to book: buy the ticket at the gate. Ramen is paid for separately at each shop. All eight regular shops sell a mini bowl for ¥750 (about 3/5 of a normal bowl), so one adult pays ¥1,950 for entry and two minis. The museum is 1 minute on foot from exit 10 of the subway's Shin-Yokohama Station and 5 minutes from JR Shin-Yokohama Station. Prices from the official museum pages and shop menus, checked 2026-10-11.

Entrance fee

• These are day tickets for one entry. To leave and come back on the same day, ask at the 1st floor Information desk to stamp the back of your ticket, and show it when you return.
• The annual passes let you go in as many times as you like for a year from the day you buy them. The digital pass costs only ¥50 more than one adult ticket, but you must register it with a LINE account before your visit. If you don't use LINE, two visits with the ¥800 paper pass already cost less than two adult tickets (¥900).
• Holders of a Japanese disability certificate (or similar) go in free, with the same number of companions.
• There are no seat reservations in the ramen shops, and no tickets for set times: you queue at the gate on busy days.

What a group pays at the gate

Ramen prices: mini or regular?

Ramen is not included in the ticket. Each shop has its own ticket machine and its own menu. The museum asks everyone from junior high school age to order at least one bowl, and you can't share one bowl between adults. To try more than one shop, order mini bowls. The museum says a mini is about 3/5 of a regular bowl, and every regular shop sells one.

Prices are the cheapest bowl on each shop's menu (PDFs dated July–September 2026 on the museum website). Bowls with egg or extra chashu cost more: Ryu Shanghai's karamiso mini is ¥780, Rishiri Miraku's spicy mini ¥820 and Komurasaki's King Ramen with egg mini ¥900. The museum also runs short "guest" shops (for example the Ra-Haku Limited series) with their own prices.

Budget for one adult

Add your train fare (see below) and drinks. Beers in the shops cost ¥500–¥800.

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free

• Komurasaki: "King Ramen made only with vegetables" (野菜だけで作った王様ラーメン), ¥1,100. Salt soup, wheat gluten (fu) instead of chashu, no meat, fish, eggs or dairy. It contains garlic and leeks.
• Ryu Shanghai Honten: vegetarian ramen, ¥1,050 (miso with shiitake and kombu, served with spicy miso).
• The museum says these are not halal: the kitchens and dishes are shared, and the shops sell alcohol. Its table is for vegetarians, not an allergy guide. Tell the staff about food allergies.
• Gluten-free: the museum has developed gluten-free ramen before, but as of 2026-10-11 its page says no shop serves it now.

Paying

• Admission (1st floor ticket counter): cash, Visa, Mastercard and JCB cards, Suica, PASMO and other transport IC cards, UnionPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, PayPay and other Japanese QR payments. Apple Pay is not accepted at the ticket counter.
• Ramen shops: cash, transport IC cards, Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express and Diners Club, Alipay, WeChat Pay and PayPay. You can't tap a credit card at the ramen shops (insert it instead), and Apple Pay and QUICPay don't work there.
• Car park, vending machines and the fortune teller: cash only.

So the easiest way to pay for everything is a Suica or PASMO card, or cash.

Opening hours and closing days

• Weekdays: 11:00–21:00. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays: 10:30–21:00.
• Last order: 30 minutes before closing (20:30). The cup ramen workshop (below) takes its last order 1 hour before closing.
• Closed: 31 December and 1 January. Single shops sometimes close for a day. The museum posts these on its news page (for example, Rishiri Miraku is closed on 13 October 2026).
• On weekends, holidays and busy weekdays the museum may let people in about 20 minutes before opening, but the shops still open at the normal time.

When to go: the museum says lunchtime is the busiest. It suggests 14:00 until closing on weekdays and about 16:00–19:00 on weekends and holidays as easier times. In Golden Week (early May) and Obon (mid-August) it may limit entry. Plan 1.5–2 hours on a weekday and 2–3 hours on a weekend, says the museum. The website shows live queue times for each shop.

Ramen making class and cup ramen workshop

• The class price includes one meal, one portion of noodles to take home (eat within about 3 days, keep cold), and a paper hat and apron. Up to 10 people per class. A vegan soup and fried wheat gluten instead of chashu are available.
• Class cancellations: free until 2 days before. 50% the day before, 100% on the day or if you don't come.
• If you want an instant-noodle workshop with a factory museum instead, see our Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama tickets guide. It is in Minato Mirai, on the harbour.

How to get there

Times are from the museum's access page. The subway fare is from Yokohama City's official fare table (7.0 km). Children aged 6–11 pay half, and children under 6 ride free with an adult (up to two per adult). We don't show fares that we could not check on an official page: look them up in a route app.

From the station: use exit 10 of the subway / Tokyu / Sotetsu Shin-Yokohama Station. Turn left at the first traffic light, then right after the FamilyMart. The museum is the fourth building on the left, 1 minute on foot. From the JR station (Shinkansen and Yokohama Line) take the underground passage to the subway and use the same exit, about 5 minutes.

By car: the museum car park (175 spaces, 2nd floor to the roof) gives 30 minutes free when you use the museum. Pay the parking in cash. There is no coach parking.

Putting it in a Yokohama day

Shin-Yokohama is about 11 minutes north of Yokohama Station, away from the harbour. A simple plan is the Ramen Museum at an off-peak hour (around 14:00 on a weekday), then the Blue Line to Yokohama Station and the harbour in the evening. Our Yokohama day trip itinerary has the harbour part, and the Yokohama day trip cost calculator tells you if a 1-day pass is worth it. The Blue Line is Yokohama's city subway, so the Minatomirai, JR and Tokyu 1-day passes in that calculator don't cover it: pay this ride with your IC card.
