Guest Reviews

“Hina was great and stayed longer to help us take videos of our cup noodle creation—it made the experience extra special.”

“The museum is free and the noodle-making costs just 500 yen, but having a guide gave us access when slots were otherwise full. Worth it if you’re short on time or want a smoother visit.”

“A sweet and knowledgeable guide made it more fun, though travelers should be aware of the pricing and what’s included.”
