Yokohama Chinatown & Ramen Pilgrimage Collection
This course combines Japan's largest Chinatown with the birthplace of Ieke ramen. Chinatown is extremely crowded during weekend lunches, so weekdays or early hours are recommended. Since the Ramen Museum is centered around Shin-Yokohama Station and the rest are located near Yokohama Station and Motomachi-Chinatown Station, using the Minatomirai subway line makes for a clean and efficient route.
