Guided tour
Masa was awesome!! He was super helpful and a joy to experience the museum with!
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommend Masa Ogawa as a Yokohama guide
Masa was friendly from the moment we met. He arrived very earlier than expected and his English was very clear, so we understood everything. He gave us plenty of detail throughout our visit to the Cup Noodles Museum, including the story behind the logo and background on its creator. It was thorough and a lot of fun. He was also very patient while we made our own cup noodles and helped us whenever we needed it. I would recommend Masa for any tour, especially as a Yokohama local.

Mr. Noodle
The energy of our tour guides Nori and Miki, they allowed us to immerse ourselves in the history of what is one of the greatest creations in the world. I appreciated them offering to take pictures of our experience and even though it was a busy day they moved through the crowds seamlessly. Very friendly and at the end of the tour even offered different places to visit in the area.

Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.
How much does Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup cost?
+
Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.
Is Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yokohama?
+
On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yokohama?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yokohama?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup?

What languages is Yokohama: Guided Cup Noodles Museum Tour & Make Your Own Cup offered in?
+
