Get your taste buds ready – Tokyo's largest annual ramen festival arrives in late October for twelve days of noodle bliss. With almost 40 vendors from around Japan serving up their own unique regional varieties, visitors are sure to find a style that suits them.
Like previous years, Tokyo Ramen Festa will be held over three continuous phases, each featuring 13 ramen shops (to be announced closer to the event):
- Session 1: Oct 23 (Thurs) — Oct 26 (Sun)
- Session 2: Oct 27 (Mon) — Oct 30 (Thurs)
- Session 3: Oct 31 (Fri) — Nov 3 (Mon, National Holiday)
Note that the start time for each phase's opening day (23/27/31) is planned for 12:00pm, compared to the regular start time of 10:30am.
Take your pick of the many ramen varieties on offer like shoyu (soy sauce), tonkotsu (pork broth), and shio (salt).
Entry to the event is free but a ramen ticket will be required for each bowl of ramen. A ramen ticket will cost ¥1,100.
Ramen fans who don't have the time to visit their favorites around Japan won't want to miss out.
Pro tip: Ramen tickets can be purchased in advance from 7-eleven stores nationwide from Oct 1 2025.
5- and 10-ticket sets will be available.
Same-day tickets are also available from the event ticket office via cashless payment (not at ramen booths).
