Tokyo Ramen Show 2020 and Back Alley Food Culture (LIMITED TIME SPECIAL TOUR)

ONLY AVAILABLE OCT. 22nd to NOV. 6th

Come make some delicious memories and try some of the best Ramen in Japan. On this tour we will explore the back alleys of Sangenjaya or “Sancha” and then wend our way to the TOKYO RAMEN SHOW 2019 edition.

Sangenjaya (also know as Sangenchaya) is a foodie paradise, cheap eats, interesting treats, and a lively atmosphere. Just about 15 minutes by train or bus from the more famous Shibuya station area, head out to this energetic spot for a bit of an off the beaten track experience. Not as well known with the inbound tourist set– you can have a great time with all the locals relaxing after work or university.

Tokyo Ramen Show is one of Japan’s largest outdoor events dedicated to ramen noodles. It presents, in one big location, various types of the dish, from the highlight each year, gotochi ramen representing the different regions of Japan, to collaborative bowls of ramen served only here. The event is organized annually since 2009 to promote tourism and food education through ramen, and support regional food cultures.
