Shinyokohama Raumen Museum

A Time Machine to Showa Period

The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum is the world's first ramen-themed museum that recreates the streets of mid-Showa Japan, with elaborate decorations and scenes. The museum also features a selection of ramen shops from different regions of Japan.

Founded in 1994, the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum 新横浜ラーメン博物館 is the world’s first ramen-themed museum that faithfully recreates the Tokyo Street Scenes in 1958.

Entering the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, you will be immediately transported to the world of ramen by the colorful ramen magazines and the Wall of Ramen History.

Walk down the stairs into the -1 floor lobby, you will be shocked by what’s in front of you, and you can’t help but look back at the elevator or stairs you took to make sure it’s not a time machine to Japan’s Showa era. The Gas street lamps, retro billboards, antennas on the roof, old telephone booths …… Who would have thought that the elevator was hidden in a seemingly old police station and public bathhouses? The Elaborate and Creative Decorations inspire the guests to explore in this virtual retro street.

Manywhere Trivia:
Japanese people eat ramen with rice, and gyoza (dumplings) is a dish in Japan, while it’s a staple food in China.

The museum brings together several Selected Ramen Shops from different places, from Hokkaido down to Okinawa, and even from Europe and America. The stock, ingredients and thickness of the ramen noodles vary from store to store, so you can always find something that suits your taste. While eating the noodles, Skilled Street Performers will also offer a variety of performances.
