Ramen Shop Theme Parks

Throughout Japan there are a number of what are called "ramen theme parks". These theme parks are not outdoor affairs with clowns, balloons and roller coasters but rather they are inside shopping centers and malls and the theme, surprisingly enough, is ramen. The most famous one is probably the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, actually that one is more like a real museum than a theme park, however it's a commercial enterprise like all the rest to be sure.

I have been to several of the ramen theme parks in and near Tokyo and I will present links to the reviews or external sites here:

Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum (Yokohama)

Ramen Square NY (Tachikawa City)

Ramen Kokugikan (Odaiba)

Ramen Symphony (Kawasaki City)

Shinatatsu (Shinagawa) (a branch of the excellent Tetsu is here)
