Find out the admission fee and overall cost of spending a full day at the Yokohama Ramen Museum?
When visiting places on holiday, it’s only natural to take a look at what museums are available. It’s usually art or history museums.
But in Japan, there are a few ramen museums where you can see some “remade” old ramen stands…and, more importantly, experience a variety of “mini” ramen dishes!
We’ll just explain one thing; this museum is actually in a section of Yokohama called Shin-Yokohama (which translates to “New Yokohama”). So make sure to find out how to get to Shin-Yokohama specifically, rather than just the city of Yokohama as a whole.
We’ll expand on how to get to this museum further down. But we’ll start by giving you the information you came here for – what the Yokohama Ramen Museum price is for admission and cost of each ramen bowl to try.

Types of Ramen Available at the Yokohama Ramen Museum & Their Prices
There are 4 main types of ramen across Japan and at this restaurant. Of course, there are many that are unique and don’t fit within these 4 groupings, but it’s much simpler showing you these:
- Soy Sauce based Ramen
- Salt-based ramen
- Fermented bean paste ramen
- Pork bone broth ramen
Out of these, our personal favorite is the “pork bone broth” dishes (often referred to as “Tonkotsu) so be sure to look for this while you visit this museum in Shin-Yokohama.
For those that can’t eat pork for any reason, then our non-pork based favorite is the soy-sauce based ramen.
