Ramen is one of the most quintessential dishes of Japan that all tourists should try at least once—though I’m sure once won’t be enough. It’s a perfect harmony of noodles, soup, and other ingredients. And what better a place to try it than at the Tokyo Ramen Show, where you can try ramen from popular local shops from all over Japan in one stop! You can also try original ramen that you won’t be able to find anywhere else!

The ramen show is split into two parts, each featuring 18 booths and a total of 36 different varieties of ramen.

Ramen Tickets

The Tokyo Ramen Show is free to enter, but in order to try the ramen you’ll have to purchase ramen tickets in advance or at the designated ticket sales area on the day of the event before you head to line up. Then, all you have to do is line up at the booth of the ramen you want to try and present your ticket. One bowl will cost you 850 yen. Be aware that the booths do not accept anything but tickets for ramen, so you can’t pay in cash. (※Tickets cannot be refunded.) You can, however, pay for extra toppings with cash at the booths if you so desire. So you might want to have some change on hand.
