Explore the museum and discover regional ramen styles from across Japan. You'll have time to choose and purchase ramen at the shops inside the museum according to your own preferences. Ramen purchases are not included in the tour price.

    Go behind the scenes on a 90-minute Kirin Ichiban Shibori brewery tour. Learn about the brewing process, smell fresh hops, and discover the craftsmanship behind Kirin's signature beer.

    After the brewery experience, take a relaxing walk through the quiet streets of Namamugi. Away from Yokohama's modern waterfront, this historic neighborhood offers a very different perspective on the city. Your guide will introduce the story of the 1862 Namamugi Incident, an event that became part of the complicated relationship between Japan and foreign powers during the final years of the Tokugawa period. You'll see how a quiet local neighborhood became connected to the much larger story of Japan's opening to the world.
