Dive into Kyoto’s vibrant ramen culture with our Kyoto Ramen Tour, a unique experience designed to introduce you to the city’s rich culinary traditions and evolving ramen scene. Guided by a ramen expert, you’ll uncover the history, preparation techniques, and cultural significance of Japan’s most iconic comfort food while tasting flavors that can’t be found anywhere else.

Your journey takes you through the charming streets of Kyoto, where we’ll visit two ramen shops of your own choice, each known for its exceptional quality and unique style. Along the way, you’ll sample two smaller bowls of ramen (about half the size of a full bowl), giving you the chance to enjoy both classic Kyoto flavors and modern ramen innovations without feeling too full.

The tour begins and ends conveniently near the Karasuma area of Kyoto, just a short walk from Nishiki Market - making it easy to explore even more of Kyoto’s highlights before or after your tour.
