The experience

You arrive at the Cup Noodles Museum in Yokohama and spend the next two and a half hours making something you'll take home. The core of the experience is designing your own Cup Noodles: you pick the cup design, select your flavors and toppings from the options available, and walk out with a custom creation that's yours to eat later or keep as a souvenir. A professional guide leads you through the museum's interactive exhibits, which tell the story of how Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles and revolutionized the food industry.

Between designing and exploring, you taste noodle dishes from different countries, so you get a sense of how instant noodles show up in global food culture. The exhibits themselves are hands-on rather than behind glass, which means you're engaging with the displays as you move through instead of just reading about them. The whole museum is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are nearby if you're coming from central Yokohama.

You can book this as a group tour or a private tour. The group version means you'll be with other visitors, while private keeps it to your party alone. Either way, the guide speaks English or Japanese, so language won't be a barrier to understanding what you're making or tasting.
