If you are around Shin Yokohama, this is a must visit place. You need to pay 310 yen per adult to enter. Although its name has the word "museum", it is not really a museum, but it has around 10 ramen restaurants as well as some shops and a couple of other types of eateries. Their main attraction is, of course, tasty ramen noodles. Each shop has "mini" bowl of ramen which costs you 570 yen. I tried 4 bowls of mini ramens from different shops and I was totally full after completing them. But I could enjoy four completely different tastes. On Sundays, they open at 10:30 and I was there around 10:20 to find a long queue. After entering the museum, the queues for each shop was not that bad, but as time went by, there were more and more people. Around lunch time, we see queues everywhere. So I suggest to go there as early as possible, and if possible, avoid a weekend.
Anyway, this is a must visit and I shall come back for other ramen that I could not try on that day.
